This story is beyond tragic. I hope the family can get answers about what really happened to Trey.
We've been retained by the family of Demartravion "Trey" Reed — the 21-yo Delta State University student whose body was found hanging from a tree.
Trey was a young man full of promise and warmth, deeply loved and respected by all who knew him.

Third, because AC use happens in areas of the world with good solar power AND at times of the day with good solar power.

NASA is being told to cancel 19 *active* missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE *hiring/retention* budget going forward.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.
