Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress.
But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway.

Last chance to light up your senators phones about the big bad bill. Have a list of reasons to vote against it to read to your red senators. And ask your Dem senators to insist the bill be read in its entirety on the floor so no one can claim they didn't know what was in it.
