Will Ukraine face the hardest vote in decades?
To understand the risks of holding elections in Ukraine now, one should recall 2014, when voting was marked by abductions and violence. Oleksii, a political consultant, witnessed that chaos firsthand.

After Marcelo Gomes da Silva was arrested by ICE on his way to volleyball practice in Milford, he made a promise to the men he shared a cell with: He’d be a voice for immigrants unfairly detained.

US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.
