ICE “left” Chicago in November, but they’ve disappeared three people from my community in two days this week.
Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far.
In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

Why are men not getting laid? It’s a real mystery.

“Some were as young as 13, and at least half of those taken in so far became pregnant as a result of rape…they worry the Trump administration is putting children in danger…to advance an ideological goal: denying them access to abortion by placing them in a state where it’s virtually banned.”
The Trump administration is sending all pregnant unaccompanied minors apprehended by immigration enforcement to a single group shelter in South Texas. This is a sharp turn from longstanding federal practice, which placed them in shelters or foster homes equipped to handle high-risk pregnancies.
Feds are sending pregnant migrant girls to Texas shelter
Government sources and advocates for the children worry the goal is to concentrate them in Texas, where abortion is banned.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.
“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.
