This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

I wonder if Americans know how the Greenland situation is playing out in Europe?
The condemnation is universal from all political parties.
Countless newspapers describing the 'trans atlantic alliance' as 'in tatters' (or similar).

Fascinating systematic review; I think it's just too broad. There is little information gained; this field badly needs standardized methods. Personally, I'd have excluded small RCT's or limited the scope. Just too much predictable heterogeneity.
