You can hear Jose scream in excruciating pain as an ICE vehicle runs over his foot while he's being detained.
His family says Jose is a good man, with no criminal record, who works in roofing.
He needs to be released from detention to receive appropriate medical care.

In Branch County, Michigan, law enforcement planned to block the view of the pigs being euthanized, voicing concerns about “PETA people” catching wind of the incident.

Linda McQuaig: With Carney’s budget prioritizing the business elite, could this be Canada’s Mamdani moment?
NDP leadership candidate Avi Lewis, like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, openly advocates taxing the rich in order to provide benefits for ordinary people. Now there’s a wild idea.

There is no "Three Strike Rule" on human rights, and I remind City Council that the provisions of the Waterloo ruling re: encampments don't extend to just any offer of shelter — it must be *truly* accessible shelter.
