A child had to watch their father get shot by ICE. Our babies deserve to be kids. Not live in fear. Not locked in cages. And not be caught in gunfire while in the back seat of a car. This rogue ICE agency is out of control. Enough.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Many young men in Ukraine are leaving the country at war, with the army struggling to fill its ranks. Petro could also flee the country and build a new life in Europe. Instead, he chose to come back.

This is how Russia "strives for peace". In Staria Hnylytsia, Kharkiv region, the Russians killed six people at a vegetable warehouse - two men and four women. At the moment of the attack, they were sorting vegetables. Another glorious victory for the Russian army.
