Island Life, Silicon Valley expat. Now with more chainsaws than laptops and mobile devices.
The unfortunate reality is that 50% CBP are Hispanic. Looked into it a bit and multiple reasons and varying motivation, but it’s largely economic.

When this came out, checked numbers for Hispanics: 50% Border Patrol, 30% ICE. Started reading this:

Attacked while peacefully practicing 1st Amendment right. Something worthwhile learned. I say this as a grandparent and one-time public school teacher.

A seriously teachable moment.

I think this is a Ford Expedition. If so, looked it up. That rear quarter panel is said to be aluminum. It looks like it was shattered. Aluminum would dent? I don'r think a typical person could kick it hard enough to dent.

Anyone have an explanation of why he’s not taken in when this video shows that they must have seen the gun on his waist when his jacket got pulled off? Why such a different reaction from when he was disarmed and killed?

Yup. Minnesota in there with Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and the Dakotas. And no circuit judge named.

NEW:

Ugh, the 8th Circuit grants DHS’s motion for an administrative stay pending appeal.

That means the TRO granted against DHS by Judge Menendez last week is on hold.

Not agreeing with some of the views about Cecilia Vega's handling of Minneapolis. Marcos Charles gaslighting to hang on to his Acting position, his predecessor canned. Chief O'Hara's emotion (9:20) seeing Aliyah Rahman dragged from her car. Let the story tell itself.

In the meantime, her family’s legal action. From her family “Nae-Nae gave everything she had to take care of her friends and family.” Using that name hit me pretty hard.

Dokoupil was so unprepared for the wave of Trump blathering, but what’s his excuse for saying Renee Good’s father supporting him? Pretty sure the guy getting press is her ex-father-in-law. Seems a big difference.

It was his father-in-law. Big difference. Bad journalism.
