Well done.
I thought I brought this memory foam prayer rug back from Medina for myself. I was mistaken:

Or the fact that he was perfectly healthy when he was detained, and his family have no idea what was done to him to cause such a severe decline
He died shortly after being deported to Cuba
I don’t think Uganda wants Kristi Noem. Why on Earth would they?

Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

It follows @theguardian.com exclusive that the agency was told to “push the envelope” to meet Trump’s 3k arrest quota.
thanks obama.

Protestors formed a human wall boxed in the van, and literally forced ICE to retreat back into the building!!

Under its new leadership — who spread misinformation throughout the pandemic — the FDA announced it will limit all Covid vaccines to adults over 65 and those with certain medical conditions.
Covid continues to spread and cause harm. This an anti-science move that will kill more Americans.
