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.

A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

Mississippi Free Press @mississippifreepress.org · 12h

Since 2016, when Drax opened its manufacturing plant in Gloster, the facility has repeatedly violated its operating permits and paid multiple fines over excess emissions.

That includes a $2.5 million fine in 2021 that represents one of the largest Clean Air Act penalties in Mississippi history.

Gloster Biomass Plant Continues Push to Increase Emissions

Mississippi regulators are revisiting an earlier decision to deny new permits for Drax’s Gloster, Mississippi, facility at an Oct. 14 public meeting.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

Disappointing because most of us on here kmow that Miller is the driving force behind all of this. The public don't kmow like that. They have to do better.

Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR) @hcrichardson.bsky.social · 1d

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

It’s happening…

Thousands more federal workers are getting pink slips. This is 100% Trump’s pressure play to make Democrats cave and give up the fight for our healthcare.

Reminder: Military members got their last paycheck today, and many federal workers only got a partial paycheck.

House Republicans just adjourned another pro forma session.

This marks the SIXTH time they’ve refused to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva, who would be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

Reading this reminds me of how useless debates are in today's climate. One person is trying to talk sensible while the other is like the Tasmanian Devil spinning, spitting, and shitting out of control all over the stage.

Show us where Black People have voted to keep other marginalized groups down.

The only group that has 100% stood 10 toes down for us as a majority are the Jews.

There’s a ton of Spanish language channels on the tv and radio (I don’t have a problem with that) but here you are crying over Blacksky?

damn… not here @damnnothere.bsky.social · 2d

but like, black people can be racist against other marginalized racial minorities, or against other black people

it’s “you can’t be racist against white people,” not “only white people can be racist”

Okay, very odd that it has the "Adult Content" warning applied... it shouldn't. But the fact that it DOES underlines the point in the video... how same-sex stories, love, representation, images are CENSORED by society and the powers that be even when they're completely innocuous.

Please watch.

Another case of government tyranny, and there's not a single fucking peep from the "Don't Tread On Me" crowd.

I'm still waiting to see them step up to defend the Constitution like they claim they will.

Still waiting....

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

Man they were banking on mass civil unrest because now they’re getting desperate and looking more ridiculous by the day.

Texas National Guard troops to Illinois? We gotta send troops to Portland?

This is ridiculous. It’s almost like they’re saying “please riot”

Pathetic.

“You’re always playing the race card”

Anyone who says this has no idea how power dynamics work.

Race is not a card I can play. It is a hand I’m dealt.

Black people have never had the power to keep white people from voting, reading, or writing. If anyone’s had a race card, it’s white people.
