My latest, on a man who supported the war in Afghanistan, came to the U.S. legally, applied for asylum, had two kids, became a bookkeeper, bought an American flag bumper sticker.

Then ICE arrested him. If he's deported, he expects the Taliban to kill him.

Russian troops are switching to “chaotic” tactics: a military man explained how
Russian troops no longer have orders to storm and consolidate. Their goal is to advance chaotically, go into the rear, and destroy the logistics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, despite heavy losses.
