Unaccompanied migrant children “remain one of the most isolated and vulnerable groups of people in this country. The Trump administration has decided to exploit their position by threatening their access to legal representation and making it impossible for their attorneys to act in their interests.”

Talking recently to family members of people snatched up and expelled to third countries by ICE, I learned: 1) All of those captured were in 287(g) jurisdictions; 2) None of the family members had known what 287(g) was and had erroneously thought people with no arrests were safe.

I found Dark Matter S2 Ep5 to be a sublime entry into this ambitious series. Writing, staging, directing, and acting is so dialed in. The cast is pitch perfect but Joel Edgerton manages to ground and elevate at the same time with minimal dialogue. A quietly profound meditation. Bring the Kleenex.

Not only do Russians plot assassinations on American soil, but they also seem to operate there without any fear or shame. Russia is an adversary of the US. Inviting Putin to the G20 is a mistake and looks weak.
