French woman, 86, held by ICE after moving to US to marry 1950s sweetheart The family of Marie-Thérèse, from Brittany, fear for her health after she was cuffed and placed in a detention centre An 86-year-old French woman who moved to the US to marry her 1950s sweetheart is being held in a crowded detention centre in Louisiana after she was arrested by immigration agents and cuffed by her hands and feet. The family of the woman, named only as Marie-Thérèse, said they feared for her health as French consular officials attempted to secure her release. One of her sons told the Ouest-France newspaper that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had treated his mother like a hardened criminal. Continue reading...

Artificial intelligence Jesus chatbot sparks debate over future of faith For some evangelical Christians, a personal relationship with Jesus is central to their faith. Now, a tech company called Just Like Me is offering to take that concept to an unprecedented level, allowing users to engage in video calls with an artificial intelligence-generated avatar of Jesus for $1....

When you see one set of footprints, that’s because a chatbot is non-corporeal.

It was logically the safer place to be. But it sucks being too far away to protect your kid in a potential crisis, when you don't know what might happen next.

I know this is small potatoes compared to all who live or have family in the Middle East.

My 13-year-old is out of the country with a school trip, and now I am getting a small taste of my parents' fear when 9/11 happened while I was living in China.

The Fourth Amendment claim against Officer Pennaz fails because the record does not show that Officer Pennaz seized Leask. Dundon v. Kirchmeier, 85 F.4th 1250, 1255 (8th Cir. 2023) (“To establish a Fourth Amendment violation, the claimant must demonstrate that a seizure occurred.”). “A seizure requires the use of force with intent to restrain.” Torres v. Madrid, 592 U.S. 306, 317 (2021). “Accidental force will not qualify.” Id.; see also Moore v. Indehar, 514 F.3d 756, 760 (8th Cir. 2008) (“[B]ystanders are not seized for Fourth Amendment purposes when struck by an errant bullet in a shootout.”). Leask claims that a jury could infer that Officer Pennaz intended to hit him from the fact that he was the one hit by the projectile. See Mercado v. City of Orlando, 407 F.3d 1152, 1158 (11th Cir. 2005). But at the time of the shooting, Leask was about 178 feet away from Officer Pennaz. It is undisputed that the launcher’s effective range is 131 feet. Leask’s own expert testified it was “unlikely [Officer Pennaz] would be able to hit his intended target at that distance.” Footage shows several people standing near Leask, and Officer Pennaz’s body camera footage shows that he could not see Leask because of the tree and traffic light blocking his view. On this record, there can be no genuine dispute: Officer Pennaz didn’t intend to hit Leask. See Smith v. Rozeboom, 108 F.4th 1064, 1070–71 (8th Cir. 2024).

8th Cir. holds that man who was videoing a George Floyd protest who was shot in the head by a police officer with a less-lethal round was not seized within the meaning of the 4A bc officer did not intend to shoot him (he was firing into crowd).

QI for officer.

Ya it's a shit sandwich. But the best gate agents would do would be to go onboard and add themselves to the volunteer-request scrum inside the crowded tube. If a kid-parent duo need reuniting, someone's going to have to move after seats are already assigned. This doesn't happen on half-empty flights

I strive to inhabit this emotional zone every day. Usually I fail. But when I reach it, it's glorious.

Cartoon depicting a "history" factory, with the quote: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" from George Santayana. A student thinks: "Why does this look familiar?" while thinking about the Palmer Raids and Japanese-American Incarcerations, and the cogs of "Bureaucracy" and "Loopholes" stand next to an "ICE" conveyor belt with "Unidentified Agents," "Detentions Without Charge," "Militarized PResence," and "Limited Transparency" on the assembly line. Beneath the conveyor belt, spilled water from a pipe, labeled: "the cracks are showing", and a graph showing "public trust" in the red.

Officials at an Omaha-area high school ordered the student newspaper to remove this editorial cartoon criticizing ICE, then demanded prior review of articles about their censorship. Via @splc.org, which is advocating for the students: splc.org/2026/03/nebr...

Same here. The number of people in this discourse who think the gate agent will help you is hilarious. Also, I'm not sure why the displacement of another passenger is magically better just because a gate agent orchestrates it rather than the begging parent.

Mine was 2 years old when we were split up. Since the consensus is that it's rude to ask other passengers for a seat change when the gate agent won't help, the only remaining option is for them to sit next to an unaccompanied toddler whose ticket is no less paid for than theirs is.

Based on what I'm reading here, the consensus is that it would have been rude of her to ask you. (Even though kids and parents are frequently split apart for a number of reasons beyond their control.)

Yup, me too.

I got split from my 2 year old to fly to a family funeral. I thought we were seated together, but it wasn't so. I can't remember the reason. The gate agent said something like "it's no guarantee." That was a fun surprise.

"The sports hall has also for years been publicly identified as a civilian-use facility on readily available digital mapping platforms, including Google Maps, Apple Maps and Wikimapia, according to a review by The Times."

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

America’s horrible trains mean you have no alternative to hourslong airport lines The government shutdown has made air travel even more miserable. But unlike other major global economies, the United States has no high-speed rail that offers travelers another option than flying.
