Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

Armed federal immigration agents raided the wrong home: forcing them outside in their underwear, ransacking the house, and taking the family’s belongings as “evidence.”
ICE Invades Wrong Home, Steals Their Life Savings, and Then Leaves
A woman says armed federal agents stole from her family and left their home trashed. “I know it was a little rough this morning,” one of them later told her.

Looking to do more with your dollars while spending less for better quality? I highly recommend Etsy’s “insider” program. You get free shipping from a majority of sellers for a year, for $30 or so. Some of the best money I’ve spent in a long time.

Never in my decade of filing FOIA requests have I gotten a response like this. Customs and Border Protection denies my request, saying "Due to law enforcement sensitivities we can neither confirm nor deny the existence of records." No exemption cited, no name of who wrote this.

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."
