ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

I am educating my brother about Hoopla and Libby. He wanted me to help him buy him an audiobook on Spotify and I said, "But, WAIT! Do you have a library card? Cause, that audiobook you want to listen to? The library has the whole series! For freeeeeee!!!"

Strait of Hormuz: Gulf states’ food security is at immediate risk but wider shortages could push up consumer prices globally Gulf states depend on food imported via the strait – and shipping surcharges could raise the cost of consumer goods around the world.

"Oil & gas are not the only commodities moving through the strait. The Gulf region serves as a major hub for the transfer of containers carrying consumer goods, particularly between Asia & Europe. The strait is central to the global fertiliser trade, with > 30% of urea exported from Gulf countries."

We have doomed domestic pigs to a life of psychological torture. Pigs are curious, gentle, brilliant - the fifth smartest species on earth. They have empathy. They bond, share, grieve. They sing to their babies. They can outperform dogs.
Yet i cant think of any animal more cruelly treated than pigs

Iran's Missile Math: $20,000 Drones Take on $4 Million Patriots Which side runs out of munitions first could determine the outcome of the war.

Now Americans are evacuating. Trump’s enemies list is expanding to include Spain and the UK.

While Netanyahu gloats, Iran’s cheap drones are using up Gulf-wide stocks of expensive defense missiles… This is fine.
