New — ICE will release the mother and children they shackled and unlawfully abducted from Sackets Harbor, NY in late March after relentless pressure from the town.

I write how the incredible outcome of this horrifying story should give fuel us to fight back: www.thehandbasket.co/p/sackets-ha...
The people of Sackets Harbor—and especially the school administrators and teachers—should serve as an example for us all that resistance can work. You do not need to comply in advance. The Trump administration is powerful, but not invincible. This story is a reminder to journalists that reporting on things happening in the smallest places can have the largest impact. My hats off to the local journalists who first made noise about this miscarriage of justice. I feel fortunate that I could help amplify it, and that we can celebrate this small but powerful victory. And we can rest a little easier knowing the third grader will finally get to see the welcome home banner hung by classmates with love.

A ceramic rabbit figurine lightly covered in snow sits alongside a small snow-dusted goose figurine, set against a snowy backyard with bare trees and blurred wooden pallets in the background. A smiling blue-eyed yellow rubber duck partially covered in snow, resting on a birdbath, surrounded by a soft, snowy outdoor scene. A close-up of a snow-laden garden trellis with dried plant stems intertwined, backed by a blurred view of a snowy yard and distant structures. Snow drifts illuminated in the darkness, with tire tracks forming ridges and faint lights visible in the distance under a dark, wintry sky

A rustic setting featuring a bright yellow stalk of bananas hanging from a pole in a simple kitchen area with cast iron pans on a wooden rack. Below, an orange tabby kitten rests comfortably on burlap sacks, creating a charming rural ambiance. An overhead view of a person wearing bright pink pants and carrying a pink bucket filled with freshly wrapped tamales, walking on a textured stone pathway. The movement and vibrant colors add life to the scene. A warm family portrait of a woman smiling while kneeling beside two young girls wearing elegant white dresses. They are in an outdoor area surrounded by lush greenery, hammocks, and a cozy, natural atmosphere. A golden hen poses in the background.
