I’m starting to wonder if Sam Altman and Sam Bankman-Fried might be the same person, or the same hologram.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Let's face it, the only reason Trump is interested in the Gaza Strip is that he wants to meet a Gaza stripper.

Conversely, if this *wasn't* intended as a DM, who on earth is he urging to "DO SOMETHING"? That's not a line Louis XIV would have uttered.

I see the point about Johnson and Spacey['s character], the lack of affect and all, but actually the Talented Mr. Ripley seems like a better fit.

Odd, how Laura Loomer has to speculate about what Hell must be like, whereas anyone who has ever had to spend time with her does not.

She managed to book Hillary Clinton and Condi Rice?

Don't they think that by appearing on her show, they're using their credibility to validate her?

So indirectly, they ARE funding terrorism. By our government. Against us.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

I always say that the head of an agency should be willing and able to do the jobs of everyone she supervises, but this is carrying things too far.

Great, now I just have to get my doctor to prescribe lots of meds so that every time I fill a prescription the pharmacy will pay ME ten times their current cost. Brilliant.

Good thing Antifa cooperated by toning things down for the day.
