Mubashir is a 20-year-old Minneapolis resident and a U.S. citizen. ICE assaulted him and grabbed him off the street anyway.
Cruelty and incompetence, and an unlawful detention. A kidnapping. ICE gets to do this with zero accountability.

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

Republicans suck at the maths. Speaking of war dead, here's a stat they ignore: More Americans have died by gun violence since 1968 than ALL US WARS COMBINED! More dead in 2021 that died in combat in Vietnam. Yet 31 states exempt private gun sales from background checks.
