Reporters were not allowed inside the stationhouse for Adams and Sewell’s visit.

Voters on both sides of the aisle are unhappy with the current state of hot-button social and culture war issues for different reasons, said pollster Robert Cahaly, who founded Trafalgar Group in 2016.

Tulino, deputy postmaster general and chief human resources officer.(Snip)The Postal Service also delivers “critical items like Treasury checks, COVID-19 tests, and pharmaceuticals. Moreover, mail and package delivery enable the American people to spend more time safely at home, rather than frequenting crowded indoor establishments,

Seattle—An investigation by Seattle's Office of Police Accountability (OPA) shows officers exchanged fake radio transmissions about a nonexistent group of right-wing extremists at a crucial moment during 2020 racial justice protests. Fake radio chatter on June 8, 2020 about members of the Proud Boys marching around downtown Seattle, some possibly carrying guns, and then heading to confront protesters on Capitol Hill was an improper “ruse,” or dishonest ploy, that exacerbated a volatile situation, according to OPA's report.(Snip)June 8, 2020, was the day the Seattle Police Department abandoned the East Precinct in the Capitol Hill neighborhood following protests sparked by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

The old model of illegal immigration along the southern border was shattered in 2021, according to data released by the Department of Homeland Security this week that shows the demographics of the typical border jumper have been completely rewritten. Mexicans, who for decades represented the overwhelming number of illegal immigrants, dropped to 28% of the flow, their lowest share “in recorded history,” according to Customs and Border Protection. Meanwhile, the number of women and girls jumping the border soared to nearly 400,000, more than doubling the average in recent years.(Snip)Migrants from the Central American countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador—known as the Northern Triangle—accounted for 44%

Three people ran a scheme to steal thousands of undelivered Amazon packages but were busted by cops after they dumped hundreds of boxes in Oklahoma, authorities said.

Police also arrested Maikel Perez Laurencio, 38, who they said was also a third-party driver and undocumented immigrant from Cuba.

It's a clear case of racism. Can't we import all of the New Zimbabweans into New America and give them a fresh start? We boast no border at all, and we love when we're called selfish and mean for not wanting to share our savings with others.
