ICE tried to stopped my student from getting a degree, but I just got out of a series of meetings that will allow them to complete it from Mexico while they wait for all the legal processes to occur. Creating an individualized degree for them.
This is my biggest win of this administration so far.

A student of mine, here since toddler, and currently of legal status, was removed from the country for 10 years due to coming here illegally.
They were then told if they wrote a letter of of apology to homeland for coming here illegally they'd consider dropping it to 18 months.

More succinct and better states than I've been.
It’s not a difference of opinion. It’s not a nuanced scientific debate.

I personally know of 3 local research grants that are cut.
In-home mental health care being one of them, and I believe they were mid trial. Consider the ethics of in-home mental health care research being cut during a treatment. Doesn’t take much imagination to craft a disastrous scenario.

RFK Jr. went on Fox News and lied through his teeth.
He said they weren’t cutting critical research.
Terminated grants so far have included studies on cancer, Alzheimer’s, HIV, and tuberculosis.
Ohio researchers lost funding for kidney disease and TB projects.
This guy doesn’t care about health.

For the record, this is the exact opposite. You can see some mortality data that shows despite the structural obstacles people persisted better. Suggesting, Mexico was sending abled bodied healthy individuals (to work and send money home).
This also is supported by the workforce stats.

My grandpa was a professional jazz bassist, I went to his shows a lot as a kid. Kermit remains among the greats.
