BREAKING: We're urging a federal court to refuse to dismiss our lawsuit challenging the violent detention of hundreds of people at a horse race in Wilder, ID. Law enforcement descended on an event popular with Latine families wielding flashbang grenades, guns, and zipties. We demand accountability.

Most Texas students who returned their voucher were previously in public school
Education experts say the numbers confirm their early warnings. Getting approved for a voucher is a starting point — actually using it can prove challenging.

There has been a decline in deportation flights and deportees since President Trump took office, according to Noticias Telemundo. This is partly due to a drop in border crossings since January, which has left immigration authorities with fewer people eligible for “expedited removal.”
nbcnews.to
Trump announced mass expulsions, but pace of deportation flights slower than Biden’s
Countries that received more deportation flights haven't seen major changes and predict that 2025 will end with fewer deportees than previous years.

Good advice. Focus on what you can change. Go local because you can make a difference. And, join others who care about what you care about. Sitting on our hands is not an option. Giving up is not an option.
