As the U.S. keeps alienating its own allies, they’re not waiting around. They’re cutting massive trade and security deals with each other instead, and Washington is waking up to a world where its leverage is no longer guaranteed.

If ICE truly were targeting "the worst of the worst" and not, you know, deliberately brutalizing innocent families with children, they'd rush to correct all the stories like this one, apologizing and insisting it's not what they're really doing.
They don't because this is deliberate. This is it.

The parents of a 7 year old, all of whom are in the process of applying for asylum, took their daughter to the ER when her nose wouldn't stop bleeding. ICE picked them up near the hospital and they are now in detention in Texas, presumably awaiting deportation. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

An interesting bit of history:
In 1916, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the US. You may know of them as the US Virgin Islands. As part of this sale, the US recognized Danish authority over Greenland.
The text of the complete, ratified agreement is here: www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

Before protection was introduced in 2016, the Wester Ross MPA was heavily dredged, hit by illegal dredging once again in 2019.
Today signs of recovery are slow but visible. As scallop diver Alisdair Hughson says, though damage can be long-lasting, recovery is possible 🌊🦀🌟
