New York's Gun Involved Violence Elimination (GIVE) initiative reported its December data showing 20 shooting victims in all of December across 20 agencies (not NYPD) That's by far the fewest number of shooting victims recorded in a month since collection started in 2006.

ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.
A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor.
ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.
