I was just coming here to ask that.

Perhaps we should invent one. I was an adult when my mother died and came to describe myself as a motherless daughter after Hope Edelman’s book. Thankfully, still have my father but at his age, well…

Before we draft, might I suggest sending the domestic military force we’re already spending billions on recruiting, arming, and “training.” Let’s see how long ICE lasts in the desert.

OMG. I am so sad this meeting ended before she found out.

Clearly some people have NOT learned this lesson.

But thanks for the strong statement.

just coming here to say this. 51 of them. Sheesh. If military targets are the goal, you don’t strike at the precise time the most civilians are on the street.

Honestly, I’d rather they waste money on this then have them buy more warehouses to use as concentration camps.

Similar issue with a ficus when I lived in Santa Monica. My roommate and I ran a hose out to it late at night, turned it on at a slow drip and let it drip for 8 hours. After doing this for several weeks, the roots went back down at they no longer needed to surface to find water.

Done! Thank you for spotlighting this organization. I continue to be impressed with how you choose to use your platform.

I probably still have all the emails, etc. DM me if you have any interest in trying to do an investigative story on this

I’m so not surprised. I tried to get it made a policy there that CLETS needs to be checked and hit brick walls. My foster daughter had a restraining order against her mother and DCFS forced her to have visits with her because they didn’t check CLETS and find the restraining order

This is the timeline I enjoy living in.

Yep. My business partner’s wallet got stolen while we were at a trade show. TSA had me sign a paper that she was who she said she was, wrote my drivers license number on it and waved us both through

Possibly?

Try a foster family agency. Some of them stock second hand cribs because foster parents are often asked to take a newborn sibling of a child they are already fostering and they aren't prepared with a crib. I got an "oops" baby this way and the crib struggle on the fly is H*A*R*D.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) obtain written consent from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education record

Nothing like being so racist that you confess to a crime in an attempt to get someone deported. If school accepts federal funds, she violated FERPA. She clearly looked at the birth certificate to know parents’ place of birth for no legitimate educational reason.

She doesn’t even have to switch parties. She could just vote as if she had. But the coward won’t even do that

We couldn’t put money on commissary there either. I think that’s the norm because it’s a short term facility. Not sure if they still do this, but back in May they gave you a Covid test the day before they put you on a plane. That’s how the detainees knew for sure they were leaving. Sending hugs.

I am so sorry you are going through this but glad you at least have JJ. He helped me in May. Our loved one left through Alexandria and it’s a 72 hour facility. is no way to put money on an account there so have a credit card ready — you have to provide a card number to accept a call from there.

Perhaps they can finally find a spine on Neil Gamain while they’re at it. As far as I know, they have made zero response to the allegations against him.

They did! I asked them what the moral was and my son said, “Don’t be greedy.” We call this kid “The Agent” or “X + 1” because, no matter what he gets he asks for more so that was a HUGE parenting win!

IF they really do it. I’ve heard complaints they’ve claimed similar after Pretti but continued business as usual. The surge everywhere needs to stop; CBP returned to the border, ICE abolished, NOEM impeached & convicted. Only after those, a vote on DHS funding

Mine, too

People also need to realize that criminals are human, too. People make mistakes. And some of them are completing their sentences here and then being deported to their home countries where they are incarcerated even though they have no criminal records there.

ICE buys warehouse property in Berks County, Pennsylvania, for $87 million U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement purchased a 518,000-square-foot warehouse that may become a detention facility.

You're missing the one in West Bern, PA. It's just down the road from the one in Tremont.
