Breaking MS NOW:

The Department of Homeland Security *unsuccessfully* sought to expedite deportation proceedings against the family of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, according to a local school official.

At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance.

Judge denies DHS bid to rush removal of Liam Ramos and his family
Kristen Stenvik, superintendent of the district where Liam goes to school, said the ruling provides both “additional time” and “continued uncertainty.”

It's under the brand name 'Yeztugo,' and it has a 100% success rate in women and a 96% success rate in men even after a year - which means that it's far more forgiving of a weird schedule, and still highly effective if you delay your booster.

“Gen ai should exist because disabled/poor ppl can’t make art otherwise” is asking you to believe lies, not your eyes. As if poor/disabled ppl haven’t written words/made art prior to gen ai.

Of course a yt leftist using dead Black scholars as a shield made this argument. That ol’ train? Never late.

Last night we had 2 ICE agents get out of a car, pepper spray legal observers, shout something to the effect of "I'm fucking ICE motherfucker" and drive away.
Ice is being very aggressive with arresting observers this afternoon.

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year.

She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again.

Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.

DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.
EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

“You said there were no words after the murder of those two individuals,” said Rev. Jack Perkins Davidson. “I think the words are ‘Abolish ICE.’”

When your representative says "Don't talk to me about my own morality," I suggest talking to them about their own morality INCESSANTLY.
“I would rather you vote for what is morally correct,” Davidson said.

“Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back.

“Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall. “What you are voting for is not moral.”
