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.

Meiselas: Trump says he’s focusing right now on laying off the Democratic agencies and government employees, whatever that means. Again, completely pathetic behavior, and in normal times, this would be impeachable and/or 25th Amendment territory.

Whoa, Judge Perry says the Feds’ declarations about unrest at ICE facilities are not credible because some of the incidents they cite in their declarations were separately no-billed by grand juries

White House claims "more than 1,000%" rise in assaults on ICE agents, data says otherwise Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers claim assaults on their officers are up sharply since June. There's no public evidence that number is true.

You're never going to believe this, but the Trump administration's claim that assaults on ICE officers have gone up 1,000% turns out to be bullshit

If awards define your presidency, you’re doing it wrong. I want a President who defends constitutional rights, human rights, and healthcare because it’s right, not because it wins them a prize. The presidency isn’t a red carpet. #NobelPeacePrize

Talk Less- Act More. Let them know what you stand for: 1. Back organizations suing for oversight and challenging unconstitutional acts 2. Host forums, workshops, or teach-ins to raise awareness and build momentum. 3. Leverage networks (faith groups, unions) for collective action.
