Bullshit, then why haven't more white people been detained?
Homan: "When they say 'stop racial profiling' -- that's just not occurring. ICE will briefly detain and question somebody based on reasonable suspicion. It has nothing to do with racial profiling."

This is called a community college and if we funded them properly we wouldn't need private individuals to offer these kinds of services.
Schools across the country are offering courses and retreats for people 50+ who want to reinvent themselves and embrace lifelong learning and discovery.

For the first time since Jan. 5, there were no ICE flights out of Minneapolis Friday, probably because of this ruling.

Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel.
One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

I want people to really understand and grapple with how bad it is for victims and all of us to live in a system where sexual violence is not punished, but victims are punished more for coming forward. I need people to see it for what it is so that we can actually do something about it

Honestly, the way the press refuses to tell the truth about this man is gob-smacking. Every appearance in front of people or cameras is the same theme w variations because he’s a narcissist with dementia. Which makes him doubly unfit. B4, it might have been “campaign-style.” Now it’s just same rant.
