Neither are particularly good, tbh.
One court decision, two different headlines.

Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?

Does someone slip a ten-strip into MAGA Colonel Kurtz's daily Big Mac to generate these hallucinations, or is this just what a lifetime of New York real estate abuse from Fred, et. al does to the mind?

ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

This is how New Jersey does it: Bruce Springsteen tells ICE "Get the F out" as he urges people to "stand against heavily armed mass federal troops invading an American city using Gestapo tactics against our fellow citizens." He then dedicated the song “The Promised Land” to Renee Good.

Christ. We all suspected this. But the narcissistic cockalorum actually put his “if you don’t give me the Peace Prize I’ll start waging wars” threat in writing.

The petulant pillock is literally ready to kill people because he didn’t get his Special Prize.
