One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.
That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

When I was in high school, we had a dean who went by Woody. During a one-act play a senior playing God was pontificating at the end of a scene & said, “Woody, just because your name is indicative of a penis, doesn’t mean you always have to act like one.”
Anyway, Boomer’s name made me think of that.

This is technically the correct decision and he would have given the goal of Haaland doesn’t also commit a foul. Once that foul happens, the goal can’t be given and it’s brought back to the free kick and red card.
What's the point, just give the goal

Disallow the goal, bring it back to the penalty just for the banter.
