The Browns found a way to make Cuyahoga County pay for their stadium after all: Leila Atassi
The Browns’ plan to fund decades of stadium maintenance by diverting future property-tax growth from libraries, parks, public health and Tri-C is an outrageous misuse of public money.

SOP for ICE is to instantly accuse any motorist of "trying to run them over." They have been told in training that on the basis of this accusation, they can respond with lethal force if they like. And there are now dozens of well documented cases involving exactly the same false claims.

Data centers are literally changing the environment around them. A new study found they may be raising temperatures for miles around their facilities, harming plants, animals, and people alike. We deserve answers before more of these projects are approved across our state.
News graphic showing an aerial view of a large data center complex with multiple industrial cooling units, utility infrastructure, and a sprawling facility located near an urban area at sunset. Overlaid text reads: “Data centers are so hot their ‘heat island’ effect is raising temperatures up to 6 miles away and impacting 343 million people worldwide, study finds.” The graphic highlights research suggesting that waste heat generated by data centers can affect temperatures in surrounding communities.

She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since. But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.
ast month, Meenu Batra, 53, who has lived in the South Texas border colonia of Laguna Heights since 2002, was on her way to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to work another case. She’s been a court interpreter for over 20 years, the only one licensed in Texas for Hindi, Punjabi, or Urdu. Her language skills are requested nationwide, where she’s contracted to help people making their way through the immigration court system, just as she did for herself 35 years ago when she immigrated from India to New Jersey before settling in Texas.

She planned to meet with her adult children in Austin after the Wisconsin trip, the only difference she foresaw in an otherwise typical trip. Her routine for years included flying from either Harlingen or Brownsville to far-flung parts of the country where South Asian immigrants needed language access. For this trip, the flight was out of Harlingen.

But, around 5 p.m. on March 17, Batra was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents after passing through security at Harlingen International Airport. In a sworn deposition that was filed as part of a petition for habeas corpus—a legal request to be released on the grounds that the detention is unlawful—Batra said the people who arrested her did not have visible badges nor were they wearing uniforms. One of those agents had asked Batra if she knew she was in the country illegally and that she had a deportation order. She replied that her work authorization status, which she applied for regularly after being granted a legal status called withholding of removal by a New Jersey immigration judge decades ago, was good for another four years.

“That doesn’t mean you can be here forever,” the agent replied. Two more plainclothes agents would join the two that detained her, bringing her down the escalator and to the front of the airport.
