And yet another

A federal judge has ordered the immediate release of a Mexican man from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody in Minnesota after he suffered "life-threatening" head injuries after his arrest.

A man identified in court documents as Alberto C.M., who entered the country legally on a temporary worker visa in 2022, was hospitalized with skull fractures and brain hemorrhages shortly after his arrest in St. Paul during Donald Trump's surge of immigration enforcement officers in the state.

The cause of his injuries is still unknown. According to the lawsuit, officers told hospital staff that he was "laying down in handcuffs when he attempted to flee, and then, for unknown reasons, purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall."

ICE has "largely refused to provide information" about what happened, except to say that he "he got his s*** rocked," according to the judge.

Look at the obvious ------- lying.

According ICE a some guy who was detained in handcuffs just up and ran into a brick wall sufficiently hard enough to fracture his own skull

US measles cases rise, spread to five more states
www.mercurynews.com

... Measles is surging across the US with five new states reporting cases this week, including California, Minnesota and Washington.

Idaho and Kentucky are the other two states with new cases, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This follows reports of measles earlier this month in nine states: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah and Virginia.

South Carolina, which is the largest outbreak, reported 700 total cases on Friday, up from 54 since Jan. 20, a tally that tracks the number of cases reported since the epidemic began in October. The CDC switched from reporting data on Wednesdays to Fridays this week, which added two days' worth of data. ...


#18 As Donnerboy pointed out, I really meant "V for Vendetta" (not Vengeance).

I should have known since I've only seen it dozens of times since its release in 2005 (including a recent cross-Atlantic flight, watching on my tablet).

My bad! ;-)

Ed Sullivan was definitely an unsung hero, but one of many, many people in entertainment who definitely practiced what they preached.

The vignette you provided is gratefully appreciated.

Thanks.
