Sunday reading. Solito is the memoir of a nine-year-old boy on his journey from El Salvador to the U.S. to reunite with his parents. Great book where you can feel the emotions depicted.

Our client, battling renal failure & seizures, was tackled in his driveway after dialysis and abducted by ICE. Now he's detained far from doctors & family, including a son in the army. For the sick, ICE custody is a death sentence. Help us bring him home: immdef.org/donate

George—a U.S. citizen and veteran—wasn’t able to communicate with anyone while detained by I.C.E. He even missed his daughter’s birthday.
This is a gross injustice, and it’s happening all over the country.

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.
She didn't want to deploy to D.C.
"She hated it. She cried about it."
