One citizen said that federal agents in Idaho pointed guns at her children, ages 6 and 8, and dragged her 14-year-old daughter out of a truck and zip-tied her.

The mother told investigators that an agent threatened to “fucking blow your head off.”

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Rob Reiner made THE PRINCESS BRIDE. He made WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. He made MISERY, SPINAL TAP, and countless other classics.

Rob gave us a great gift, and his and his wife's senseless murders are a devastating loss.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.

Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

2. So he asked Ollie to help his brother.

It's a good moment to remind that Green Arrow is a columnist at this time, so that's why he's talking about about Ollie getting a story.

1. This is how the story "Sanctuary" from Detective Comics #551-552 started.

Back then was INS. The kid showed his passport after this, but his brother is not in the same situation.

Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.
