Personal vid today, folks, but with a lot of wisdom attached.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

I’m also just going to say that no one who knows anything about document review would do this even accidentally. There are protocols. You only do this if you are stupid, inexperienced; or intentionally trying to hide something, and there are still plenty in the SDNY who are not the first two.
