Prosecute them all. Beyond the depravity of this, it's pure theft. The local prosecutor should open an investigation and charge them all.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

“A sweep is not simply the forced eviction of a person from where they are sheltering. It is a violent process that can cause suffering and dislocation for people who are already at the margins of society. Many people lose their most valuable belongings.” Thank you @guyoron.net for sharing it all!

When police returned Reggie Williams’ wallet, an officer told him: Don’t do anything bad and keep your ID on you.

To Williams, the warning echoed a slavery-era requirement that free African Americans carry documents to prove they weren’t enslaved.

Between July 29 and Oct. 15, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested more than 950 people in Washington. The pace of arrests during those two-and-a-half months far surpasses increases earlier in the year. From Inauguration Day in January to the end of July, arrests totaled just over 1,000.

Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families.

But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes.

An analysis by ProPublica and The Assembly of the more rural counties in North Carolina hardest hit by Helene shows that the households that got the most aid tended to have the highest incomes.

I remember writing years ago about a then-new initiative by Amazon to disrupt local government procurement of things like office and school supplies. Turns out Amazon's become very popular with school districts, and it's using dynamic pricing to rip those schools off.

According to experts, Venezuela's oil and other natural resources have never belonged to the United States. That has not stopped Trump from trying to get his hands on it.
Trump's Blockade Against Venezuela is for "our oil." Experts say it isn't the US's to take.
