Immigration and Customs Enforcement cannot re-detain Kilmar Abrego Garcia because a 90-day detention period has expired and the government has no viable plan for deporting him, a federal judge ruled. https://cnn.it/4kHhwqR

ICE is moving out to the suburbs of Minnesota

We sat in a parking lot and waited. We watched, knowing we were being watched in return. Two men, masked and presumably armed, idled in a gray SUV. “They’re all on this fucking street now,” Lety, a lifelong resident of the Minnesota suburbs, told me.

Russian "liberation" of Donetsk and Donbas - no water, no help from the local "authorities".

Russia says it wants to "protect" the people of Donbas. But in fact, it destroys Donbas, drains it out (literally and figuratively).

FOX: Ds are winning congressional vote preference by 6. We've got a long way to go, but obviously that number would not be good.

VANCE: That would not be good. I will say, as much as we love Fox News, we always think Fox has the worst polling
