Someone was killed by ICE here in El Paso.
🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.

He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

Team USA is about to get a “Remember the Alamo” speech
Wow. USA Baseball just announced Clayton Kershaw will suit up one last time by playing for team USA in the World Baseball Classic.

The Dodgers wouldn’t let him last time when he really wanted to.

Main water break up the street, so house is 45 minutes into survival mode.

I think my wife and daughter have formed an alliance and are planning to kill me.

Commentary: U.S. intervention won't help Venezuela or Latin America
After 25 years under Chavismo, Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro was taken by Trump’s military. You can condemn the intervention and let Venezuelans feel a complicated hope.

Telling wife about Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin and just to make a point of how he’s burning bridges every where he goes, I said, “went from coaching the Raiders to coaching in same conference where UTEP plays”

That really drove the point home.
