ICE Stranded a 17-Year-Old on I-20 After Arresting His Father. The Mississippi Dad Now Faces Deportation. A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sightβ€”soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

Ontario Liberals are soon choosing a new leader. Found the list of names being floated interesting. I do worry that Nate Erskine-Smith has accidentally found himself as this era's Gerard Kennedy. Love both guys but politics is tough. #onpoli #cdnpoli www.tvo.org/article/anal...

Justin Bieber Responds to Mom Pattie Mallette's Plea for Him to Heal Wounds After Justin Bieber's mom Pattie Mallette asked for prayers to "heal every wound" in the "Hold On" singer's "heart, mind and body," he shared his candid thoughts in the comment section.

I have tons of sympathy for Justin Bieber. His talent created a scenario where he grew up too fast and he ended up exposed to things that didn't help. I root hard for him to have a happy life. www.eonline.com/news/1423604...

Just learned that #BeverlyHills90210 has come to #CraveTV in Canada. They are advertising it as including all episodes so those prior issues with episodes being removed will, allegedly, not be continuing here. I still remember sneaking to watch this as a kid when I wasn't allowed. LOL.

Fetterman looks like he isn't doing well in terms of health. It's bizarre to me that American lawmakers are supportive of extrajudicial murders of civilians on international waters. It sets an extremely dangerous precedent. Extremely.

Something definitely smells funny. No doubt about that. I don't know if this kid is or isn't the shooter. I just know that the Trump administration is so corrupt that we will never really know. They have botched the investigation at every step.

Danielle Smith wants a fight with Canada, not a new pipeline Alberta's premier has opened the door in her party and province to separatists. Now, she's claiming that other people are the ones threatening Canada's future.

Danielle Smith keeps saying she wants a new pipeline. But her actions suggest what she's really after is a renewed fight with Canada -- even if it ends up costing her the pipeline she claims to care so much about.

Funny that the President of Finland speaks better and more coherent English than the President of the United States, whose cognitive impairments are quite obvious at this point. He is a danger to himself and others, quite clearly. #ImpeachTrump www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1BH...

Bombshell investigation shows that Hungary's Russia-alligned Orban regime has been running an espionage network in Brussels, recruiting and infiltrating among the highest levels of foreign governments.

What's funny is that #LetitiaJames benefits from this! I have little doubt she will succeed at Court, given the DOJ already believed there was nothing to the claims against her. All Trump has done here is elevate his own enemies and given the entire world yet another opportunity to see his weakness.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

I want to believe there could be peace here, but I just don't see it with the players involved. Netanyahu is bloodthirsty, it seems, and Hamas seems to want to see the world burn. How do you make peace under those conditions?

4chan unlikely to be included in Australia’s under-16s social media ban, eSafety commissioner says Julie Inman Grant says message board will need to comply with other codes which will also include age assurance for sites hosting violent and adult content

To be honest, I have never been on 4chan, so I may have a bias. That said, I have heard not one good thing about it. It seems to be a hotbed for hateful, sick, and disturbing content. I support regulation of the internet and so should you. #TheSocialDilemma www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

DOJ prosecutors in Virginia under Erik Seibert didn't believe they gathered enough evidence to charge Letitia James.

So Trump pressured Seibert to resign and replaced him with a loyalist (and former personal attorney) who would.

Even Nixon made efforts to hide his corruption.

Interesting that she seems to be beginning to understand the extent to which she was lied to about Epstein and a number of other things. Would be quite a story if she really did see the light.

β€˜Get out of my f--king shot’: Katie Porter tears into staffer in newly released video The former member of Congress, who is now running for California governor, also vented that she was snubbed by the Biden White House, complaining she raised the president β€œa shit ton of money.”

Melissa McCarthy is the obvious choice to play her on SNL. Yeah, not her finest moment but it's a little precious to be worried about this when the President of the United States is rapidly attempting a fascist takeover of the United States. #KatiePorter www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Eby is πŸ’― correct. This β€œpipeline” is more Danielle Theatre. It’s a means to eventually blame BC & Ottawa for her gov’ts failure. It’s a means to distract from the AHS scandal. It’s pandering to her base.
