Well this guy's getting a promotion: ICE official on children left behind after Mississippi raids: We're 'not a social services agency'

ICE official on children left behind after Mississippi raids: We're 'not a social services agency'
An ICE official told NBC News on Friday that the agency is "a law enforcement agency, not a social services agency" after news reports revealed that many children of suspects detained this week were left homeless in the immediate aftermath of the raid, though local media reports indicate that all are now staying with family members.

"Terrible things are happening outside... poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared." - Anne Frank (Jan 13, 1943)

Woody Harrelson Gives Insight After Trump Dies
Oscar-nominee Woody Harrelson has taken on many roles, but an enthusiastic dinner guest of Donald Trump's, long before he was president, may have been his most challenging...Harrelson did admit Trump "did say one thing that was interesting, though."
"He said, ‘You know, I’m worth four billion dollars,’ or maybe he said five billion dollars—one of those numbers, I forget," he said. "'But when I die, no matter how much it is, I know my kids are going to fight over it.’ That was the one true statement he made that night.

REMEMBER WHEN #DonaldTrump SAID HE COULD SHOOT SOMEONE ON FIFTH AVENUE AND GET AWAY WITH IT? WELL, HE DIDN’T SHOOT SOMEONE HIMSELF, BUT HE INCITED OTHERS TO DO HIS DIRTY WORK FOR HIM, AS HE HAS DONE HIS WHOLE LIFE. - Bette Midler

I Wonder How the People of Color in the DOJ Feel About This.
Alleged white supremacists were responsible for all race-based domestic terrorism incidents in 2018, according to a government document distributed earlier this year to state, local and federal law enforcement.
The document, which has not been previously reported on, becomes public as the Trump administration’s Justice Department has been unable or unwilling to provide data to Congress on white supremacist domestic terrorism.

When Nixon left office, I was so relieved that a president was held accountable. I was so naive then.

680 undocumented workers arrested in record-setting immigration sweep

680 undocumented workers arrested in record-setting immigration sweep
After immigration authorities rounded up hundreds of workers in a massive sweep at seven Mississippi food processing plants, friends and family members are desperately searching for answers.
A crowd waited outside a plant in Morton, Mississippi, on Thursday morning, hoping authorities would release their loved ones. Many had been by later in the afternoon.

Trump NEEDS To Be The Center of Attention
Jetting to the scene of a second massacre, Trump lashed out. Instead of imparting the sympathetic grief that his tour of killing zones was meant to illustrate, it was he who appeared aggrieved. And instead of highlighting his interactions with the shootings' victims, it was his own perceived victimhood — at the hands of Democrats and the media — that he thrust upon two stricken communities.

Presidential campaigns usually ignore Native Americans and their unique position and struggles. The 2020 race might be different. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, two of the campaign’s biggest names, will attend the first-ever presidential forum devoted to the issues on Aug. 19 and 20.
Four Directions, a Native American voting rights group, is sponsoring the forum, which will be in Sioux City, Iowa. The other Democratic candidates who plan to attend are Julián Castro, Amy Klobuchar, John Delaney, Marianne Williamson and Steve Bullock.

DT Rescues Child.
Not Donald Trump but Danny Trejo!
The veteran actor, known for roles in films like Heat and Machete, was in the Sylmar neighborhood of Los Angeles on Thursday when two cars collided at the intersection of Hubbard Street and Jackman Avenue. One of the cars was overturned as a result of the collision and Trejo, and a fellow bystander, jumped into action -- rescuing a child trapped inside, according to ABC7 Eyewitness News.

I loved Danny Trejo in In The Blood. This action movie is about true love and what happens when you mess with the wrong woman on her honeymoon. Increiblemente bonito.

Reminder: Danny Trejo is 75 and out here rescuing children from overturned cars. Heroism is ageless, timeless, and packs some badass tattoos. - LaToya Morgan
