DHS says: “Activist Biden judge releases ... illegal alien wanted for murder.” But leaves out 3 facts. 1. Judge never knew of existence of homicide warrant ... 2. because AUSA never told her ... 3. *because ICE instructed AUSA not to tell her.* My deep dive: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/dhs-...

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

Ghoulish stuff, and deeply counterproductive. The message this sends to immigrant communities is “Do not call the police. If you saw a crime? No you didn’t. If you were a victim of a crime? No you weren’t. If you see a cop? Run.”
But in Florida, the state leading the country in the number of signed agreements with ICE, Bradshaw's agency serves as a stark reflection of how
rapidly the immigration crackdown is expanding to people seeking police help.
The people detained by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office include a restaurant employee reporting information on a possible burglary, a mom who reported a theft and asked for help with her son, a crime victim who was in a minor fender bender while taking his son to school, and Sanchez Toledo, who was also charged with resisting arrest.

If you read the actual opinion, it is very clear the dissent has the better argument. The majority reached to overturn this redistricting using contorted logic that leads to confusion and an unworkable system. There was no technicality; just the desired result. Shame on this racism-condoning court.

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.
Replying to 
@JenniferJJacobs
The shooting happened on the level above the ballroom where the White House Correspondents Association dinner was. 
I don't think people hearing about this -- or even those of us in the room -- realized how far from the president, VP and other guests this incident was. It was on another floor, up some stairs and several sets of security away. 
Because the Washington Hilton's hotel and other public spaces were open for other functions, the entire building wasn't secured by the Secret Service, just the specific areas where the WHCA dinner was held, law enforcement officials told @CBSNews
.
