64. Heather Ann Thompson (of Blood in the Water) has a great exercise she does w students:

"Imagine someone you love, think abt worst crime possible. If they were the victim, what would you want for offender?"

Ans: horrible stuff.

"Ok, same scenario... but they're the OFFENDER."

Ans: ... oh. hm.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala.

Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.
