1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

Reporter: "What was the turning point of the game?"
Bill Self: "It was a tough battle. We were up 42-40. But, then, Professor Yung appeared on the jumbotron. It was like looking into the sun. The Jayhawk players averted their eyes from such magnificence. The Utes didn't. I knew victory was ours."

The refs were so blinded by my beauty on the jumbotron at the KU v Utah game that they haven't been able to see several fouls since. My bad.
