What it’s like to visit the ICE detention center in Adelanto
The facility, roughly 85 miles northeast of Los Angeles, is at the end of a road splintered with cracks and potholes. Once there, some wait for hours to see their loved ones.

Well, ICE, which had been updating its detention stats about every two weeks, stopped doing so in mid-September.
I'm not shocked, but I am disappointed, since this was a great source of insight into criminality and danger to the public, straight from the horse's mouth.

Dear PR professionals: Stop acting like the news media doesn't publish positive stories.
First, it shows you don't actually consume the media you're pitching to. (We publish positive stories all the time.)
Second, if you did see we do publish such stuff, you'd pitch to the right people.

Once upon a time, California showed that you can reduce drunk driving deaths simply by trying. Now, the state’s headed backward.
And as deaths have increased, law enforcement has done less: DUI arrests statewide dropped from nearly 200K in 2010 to 100K in 2020.
