They are embarrassed over the publicity. Therefore, they want to punish the victims.
Breaking MS NOW:

The Department of Homeland Security *unsuccessfully* sought to expedite deportation proceedings against the family of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, according to a local school official.

At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance.

Judge denies DHS bid to rush removal of Liam Ramos and his family
Kristen Stenvik, superintendent of the district where Liam goes to school, said the ruling provides both “additional time” and “continued uncertainty.”

Barking Alien's RPG CAMPAIGN TOUR CHALLENGE! Day 6 – Where Shall We Start?
The Drunken Orc Inn is a deliberately familiar anchor point. It is the kind of tavern players instantly understand, and that is exactly why it works.

Barking Alien's RPG CAMPAIGN TOUR CHALLENGE! Day 5 - Campaign History
The earliest seeds came decades ago, walking through Chicago and wanting a fantasy city that felt lived-in, layered, and resilient. A place where adventure was around the corner.

Barking Alien's RPG CAMPAIGN TOUR CHALLENGE! Day 4 - Is There a Map?
Give us a visual! Show us a map of your setting! Don't have one? WHY NOT?!?
I have a map. It's not good, but that's fine, I have it all in my head. #ttrpg #WestHaven

Barking Alien's RPG CAMPAIGN TOUR CHALLENGE! Day 3 - Where the heck are we?
West Haven is always just a little out of reach and a little off to the side. But it is always where I need it to be.

Advanced Witches & Warlocks: Occult Adventures
It's Imbolc. A time for renewal and new beginnings. And a great time to announce my newest project!
This project began many years ago as my High Secret Order Witch, with material from my Occult D&D.

Character Creation Challenge: Day 31, The Simbul Witch Queen of the High Witchcraft Tradition
There are only a few iconic D&D characters created by others that I absolutely adore. Feiya is one, so is Iggwilv. Alassra Shentrantra Silverhand, is a favorite.

Something, something “pedo guy.”
NEW: Elon Musk has insisted that Jeffrey Epstein invited him to the notorious island and he declined. But new emails show the opposite -- Musk was practically begging to party with Epstein in the Caribbean, years after Epstein's sex convictions were public knowledge

Character Creation Challenge: Day 30, Iggwilv Witch Queen of the Demonic Tradition
I rather love Iggwilv. Natasha, Tasha, Hura, Iggwilv, Zyblina, whatever her name, she remains one of my all-time favorites.

Character Creation Challenge: Day 29, Kersy Witch Queen of the Atlantean Tradition
Kersy is a wonderful character. Bruce Heard admits she is basically a Circe stand-in, but I saw her as something else. I also saw her as looking like Vanessa Williams.

Character Creation Challenge: Day 28, Areelu Vorlesh Witch Queen of the Malefic Tradition
Areelu Vorlesh is another witch queen I adopted, this time from the Pathfinder game. She is a half-succubus witch and a whole lot of fun. #osr #witch #adnd1

Back in June of 2009, D&D 4e was still on the shelves, and Dungeon #162 was available. It featured the Winter Witch Koliada and her plans to freeze the world. #witch

Character Creation Challenge: Day 25, Elvyra Witch Queen of the Faerie Tradition
No discussion of AD&D and Witch Queens is complete without Elvyra from Quests of the Ancients. I already featured Sarana from a while back, so I figure I should also do her.

Celeste and Cassandra are a duo of witches I have been playing around with for a few years. They are witches, yes, but something else as well.
More testing of my Magus and Wicce subclasses. #adnd

Character Creation Challenge: Day 22, Katrina
Katrina started with a very simple, now-familiar premise: "What would my witch Larina look like if she were evil?" She morphed a bit, as my witches often do, based on what I am reading or watching at the time.

Today's character is another child of my two OSE characters, Asabalom and Maryah. Aviva is named after a witch they both knew. Aviva's current quest is to find the witch she was named after.
