This incident is a shocking reminder that the Trump administration's deportation agenda has never been about public safety. State lawmakers must act to protect our communities from violent ICE operations that undermine public safety, separate families, and spread chaos in our communities.

It was a forgettable 2025 season for José Alvarado, but a $9 million decision to bring him back in 2026 didn’t feel too complicated. He would have been one of the best lefty relievers on the market. Story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/676...
