ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

I'll bet he's in Trump's thoughts tonight. That is, if it can actually think.

It’s impossible to be a supporter of freedom and liberty and also a supporter of Trump. Trump enjoys stepping all over the constitution.

“In Louisiana, where defendants can spend years in pretrial detention because of court delays, it is not uncommon for an inmate to have served out their sentence — or even served extra time — by the time a judge hands down that sentence.”

www.nola.com/news/louisia...

These inmates claim Louisiana held them too long. Now they can file a class action lawsuit.

The lawsuits allege Louisiana has routinely held inmates past their release dates for years.

this is an absolutely insane news conference for the Attorney General of the United States to be participating in.

(note how Benny Johnson describes the Annunciation shooting as an act of political violence, which is a lie)
