Governor, your proposed social media legislation would cut many of these Hatian families off from access to lifesaving online resources.

Requiring social media companies to verify the age of every user means requiring online ID checks, which are completely unworkable for undocumented families.

Democrats Are Split Over What It Means to Block Israel Weapons Deals There’s a divide between those seeking to end all U.S. weapons deals with Israel and those who want to allow some exceptions.

Barrera said her husband said the smell of human feces in the toilet caused a fellow detainee to vomit and, in turn, created a chain of people vomiting. She said her husband is asthmatic and has not received medication to treat his condition. The lack of medicine and the stress of the overcrowded holding cell has left him short of breath and teetering on the edge of an asthma attack, Barrera said. ICE did not immediately respond to questions on April 10 about the conditions of the Mesa or Phoenix facilities. After the publication of this article, Barrera told The Arizona Republic her husband was transferred to the ICE facility at San Luis Regional Detention Center at about midnight. The San Luis Regional Detention Center is in Southwestern Arizona and has the capacity to hold 700 people.

This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.

Israel’s parliament passed a law on Monday that would allow the hanging of Palestinians convicted of deadly militant attacks, but critics say it will almost certainly not be applied to Jewish extremists convicted of similar crimes.

"Opinion polls have shown majority backing for the legislation among Jewish Israelis."

A lot of SCOTUS decisions are dumb, badly reasoned, even dangerous, but merit compliance out of respect for the rule of law and the Court's position under Article III. A decision denying birthright citizenship is a challenge to the constitutional order and should be understood as such.

The U.S. Said It Helped Bomb a Drug Camp. It Was a Dairy Farm.

How a small New Hampshire town stopped an ICE warehouse jail

“The ICE warehouse jail in Merrimack is not opening. For the people who would have been detained there and their loved ones, this is a real win. It also proves something larger: detention expansion is not inevitable. Everyday people can stop these facilities.” afsc.org/news/how-sma...
