... he findings, based on data tracking the current Trump administration's immigration crackdown, come after President Donald Trump had pledged to target the "worst of the worst" criminal offenders among the nation's migrants.

Based on government data analyzed by ABC News as provided by ICE in response to a FOIA requests to the Deportation Data Project and the University of Washington Center for Human Rights, the findings show that immigration enforcement has affected more than 400,000 individuals with no violent criminal history, including parents and spouses of U.S. citizens.

While the 3% figure is consistent with rates seen under the Biden administration, the data shows the Trump administration is not detaining a higher proportion of violent offenders despite a significant overall increase in total detentions. ...

But then there's this ...

...This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide. ...

Kudos to UK armed forces for this.

OK, I am the first to admit that I am not a fan of professional "sports."

imo, they, like most professional sports, are a profit-making business that exploits their employees.

That view aside ...

One thing I noticed was Pres Trump's sleepy attendance at a game, and how his snoozing seemed to have affected the outcome of the game.

The Knicks team seemed to be grateful for his attendance, but when he seemed to have fallen asleep, he showed his actual level of interest to the Knicks team.

And their game suffered.

I have not said anything about counting actual votes.

What I have said was about the apparent prevention of those votes being cast.
