Idaho’s women’s prison overcrowding is fueling parole delays

Also, I want to highlight this part of the case for all the pilots and avgeeks out there. I’ve heard ICE is doing this with manifests from a number of sources, but this is, as far as I know, the first confirmation. Really shows the complicity of the pilot-in-command. This was an Omni flight.
In the latest court filing, ICE officials did not deny any of his claims, and appeared to confirm at least one of them, saying the charter flight's manifest—a printed receipt given to pilots listing all passengers and crew on a flight—
"served as the travel document."

Trump approval over last three months dropped ~5% (from ~ 45% to ~40%) in AK, IA, OH, & TX, states with Senate races with lots of paid and earned media. Nationally Trump approval dropped ~ 2-3 points then. Does more attention lead to more disapproval? Lesson going forward for KS, NE, SC etc.?
