Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:
βPioneering cancer researcher;
β*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
βNow indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
β"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.
Read it.

Who would have guessed appointing someone completely unfit for the job would lead to shenanigans? Color me shocked.
Every single person who allowed this to happen should be ousted from their office.
How embarrassing. This is big middle schooler energy from an official administration page.

Our politicians are so used to their position as sound bite jockey and I suspect thatβs why they have been so ineffective at addressing this crises. Suddenly they are called to be people of action and they do not know how.

That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. βThe officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, βNo, heβs not the one,β like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, βTake him anyway.'β That moment marked the beginning of Wilmerβs search for answers β answers heβs still waiting for.
One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.
I started my boycott the moment they announced the move and it will exist in perpetuity. I cannot forgive them for complying in advance. Plus I like Costco better.
