Hey, NYT, this seems to be in a serious story, but I can't read this font AT ALL.
Computer can, so I could provide an alt.
Horrified, Lydia

Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva Dies in ICE Custody While Nation Continues to Grapple with ICE
Killings in Maine and Texas
Ocilla, Georgia -As the nation grapples with the horror of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) murders of Joan Sebastián Guerrero, 26, in Maine and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, 52, in Texas, the agency’s death toll within its custody continues to grow at a record-breaking pace. Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva, 45, tragically died in ICE custody on July 13 while being transferred from the Irwin Detention Center to the Folkston Detention Center in Georgia.
His sister said, “Jesus Manuel Arenas Silva was a loving son and brother, a caring and hard-working man who came to this country to seek better opportunities. His tragic death has left our family with an immense void and deep sorrow.”
Jesus Manuel was detained by ICE last Thursday. His apprehension by ICE at his house was traumatic for him and his family. Jesus required medications for a medical condition he was dealing with. His sister said, “We implored ICE not to take him due to his medical needs, but they didn’t listen to our pleas. They also ignored our request to at least allow him to take the medication with him, allowing only one medication.” Jesus Manual later confirmed during a phone call to his sister that ICE did not give him the medication he needed. He went without medication during his detention until he tragically died in ICE custody on Monday.
The family is demanding justice and an independent investigation into his death: “ am 100% certain that he did not receive proper care.
I deeply mourn his passing in such a cruel manner; that is why I will seek justice for him and for everyone else who goes through this, so that other families do not have to endure what we are going through. No one deserves this,” added his sister. [cont]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nfzicnru3wch3hso4z4ttkxy/bafkreihcjhedwpmz46h76wb2z6gefduc44tlakqd4xxmgzvm4todcjd5rm)

![PRECEDENTS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
In another respect the value of precedent to the House of Representatives should not be overlooked. The framers of the Constitution experienced little uncertainty as to the functions and powers of the House. In the Colonial Assemblies there was existing a political institution, indigenous to America, and proven by the long conflict arising from the attempts of the English Kings to establish arbitrary power. The people of America had fought the first battle of liberty in the Colonial Assemblies. Nowhere else, among the great nations of the earth, did the people possess such a perfect means of expressing their will. It was natural, therefore, that the framers of the Constitution should at once have conceived of a National House of Representatives, framed on the model of the Colonial Houses, and should have guaranteed to it the powers and privileges necessary for its preservation as the organ of the will of the whole people. It is a duty and a national necessity that those powers and privileges be preserved in their pristine vigor; and there is no surer way to this end than perfect information on the part of every Member of the House as to what they are. One of the chief ends proposed by this work has been the collection and classification of the precedents relating to this subject in such a way that they may always be clearly before the membership of the House. [highlighted] If the prerogatives of the House are [well] understood, other branches of the Government are less likely to encroach on them; and if there be encroachment, it is more likely to be met with promptness, intelligence, and firmness.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nfzicnru3wch3hso4z4ttkxy/bafkreid3r5uuwldaangqrzopsy4gexlxq4vxbvxpchfaaevdffx57uadfy)
