A good write up by an infectious disease doc in rural Md.

“The county health department spokeswoman told me they were caught unawares. ‘We have not been contacted by anyone at state or federal level,’ nor by the county commissioners, she said.”

Unfortunate development on the HB630 front.

The MD legislature has moved the committee hearing to March 11th. We don’t yet know why.

Every delay in the process of resisting ICE’s use of shipping centers for mass detention centers is unacceptable.

More to follow as we learn more.

Did they change the date of the hearing to 3/11?

So we can't submit testimony?

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.
