Is the 30% rule for rent still relevant? Here’s what experts think
For most "everyday people," the 30% rule remains useful, but it comes with several caveats, experts say.

NEW — Based on the aired ‘60 Minutes’ CECOT segment, several of Bari Weiss’s stated reasons to stop the story are inaccurate. She said the segment did not present the admin’s argument for deporting people to CECOT. It does. She said the segment did not detail deportee criminal histories. It does.

I am sure the 60 Minutes report on CECOT was very well done, but what makes the decision to kill it even more damning is that CBS was hardly out on a limb on this story. It has been extremely well documented and reported by many journalists.

1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families. For one 15-year-old, it began with a cracked windshield 👇
Article excerpt: Shortly after 8 a.m., Carreto’s phone rang. It was Carlos, telling her an officer with the Florida Highway Patrol had pulled over the truck on Interstate 4 near Tampa. The stated reason: cracks in their windshield. But Carreto was worried. She knew Florida police were collaborating with federal immigration authorities. Her fiancé was undocumented. She says she rushed to the scene and made it there just before the immigration officers.

As she feared, Matias had been detained. But to her surprise, so had Carlos. He was just a kid. (ProPublica is only identifying Carlos by his first name because he is a minor.) Carlos was in high school. He’d been living in the United States for over two years and was working toward applying for legal status to stay long term. The government had given her, a legal resident, custody of him. Now he was in handcuffs. Why would they take him too?
