Abolish ICE.
Haitian Bridge Alliance President Guerline Jozef said that Pierre Damas Bel had complained of heat emanating from the ankle monitor and needing to wear a sock between the device and his leg to protect his skin. She said when Pierre Damas Bel brought those concerns to ICE at an appointment asking for it to be removed, they instead tightened the monitor, saying it should not be lose enough for a sock to fit underneath it.

This revelation was met with horrified gasps among those in the sanctuary.

Major acquisition today. Recently told the boys in the group chat, after two beers, that it’s the best album ever. A bold claim, but at this time of year I’m not sure it’s wrong.

These hideous Trump ads are outright theft from the taxpayers and election misconduct at the same time. $20 million in OUR MONEY spent on Illegal ads glorifying the would-be king. And his co-conspirators told him it was OK.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.
