Orgs estimate that hundreds of veterans have been deported by ICE over the years. Countless veterans remain stranded abroad, living as exiles from the nation they fought for. Alex Murillo is one of those deported veterans, writing for Prism.

Went out and bought a small fortune of butter and threw it in the freezer.
3 months from now you’re going to be seeing one of those DEA massive drugs haul photos except it’s hundreds of bales of uncut Kerrygold
Tariffs: Pound of Irish butter in US could exceed $11
A standard 454g packet of Kerrygold could end up costing $11.45 (€10.42) on American supermarket shelves because of planned 20% tariffs, reports Agriculture Correspondent Aengus Cox.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
