Every day at noon, no matter how busy, Johny Merida Aguilar left his construction job and hurried to his 5-year-old son's school to feed him. His son has brain cancer and generally only accepts food from his father.
Merida Aguilar was arrested by ICE in September and faces deportation to Bolivia.

As I was saying.
The laws wouldn't be as poorly drafted if governments had simply consulted and relied upon public servants to implement directives loyally, though.
There were ways to remove 'a few graphic novels' from shelves.
Instead, we get ministerial orders like the book ban that blow back on the govt.

Smith says her government doesn’t want to waste money on unused COVID vaccines. Let that sink in. They wasted $80M on Turkish Tylenol that sits in a warehouse to this day. Handed out bloated AHS contracts to friends. They refuse to promote public health. They are the worst.
