Again, Dems could make this their shutdown demand: that government funding be accompanied by laws constraining ICE and requiring it not use Latino ethnicity as a criterion for detention. "You can't jail someone for being Latino."

But instead, they're vaguely fighting for "healthcare subsidies."
WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.

He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument.

A significant Arctic outbreak with Denver temperatures down to -15° (or lower) and the potential for several inches of snow looks increasingly possible next weekend/MLK Day.

This will likely feature - by far - our coldest air of the season.

If we want better fashion culture in the US, we have to lower the cost of housing and commercial real estate, support independent craftspeople, build denser neighborhoods, improve walkability, and get rid of overly restrictive zoning laws. Let kook culture thrive.
