He Spent 27 Years on Death Row as a Wrongfully Convicted Man. What Comes Next?

23-hour solitary confinement. 115-degree heat. Jimmie Duncan is haunted by the decades he spent in Louisiana’s Angola prison — and how, even after being released, he still isn’t truly free.

Canadians simply want their own sovereignty respected, and to play by the same rules. Not hard to understand. We've been accepting asylum seekers for as long as we've existed. We have always seen Americans as cousins, siblings, and family. We don't hate you; we hate your administration.
