"To call us 'Nazis' - to compare us to one of the worst groups in history - is disgusting and just outright wrong.
"What the men and women of ICE are doing in Massachusetts and all over this country is making communities safer."

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 ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
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.

Decided to catch up on Love is Blind and a man added a cooked chicken breast, some water, and a packet of crystal light to a blender and he drank it. He does this every morning apparently?? This show is fucked.

I have just been appreciating the fuck out of the library. So many free and discounted passes to museums and all kinds of shit. Free e-books and regular books to borrow. Weird art and historical shit in there. Just a good time at the library.

Just used my local library to reserve heavily discounted passes to a sprawling botanical garden.

Steve is fine/uninjured. Some neck pain from being tackled.

His biggest concern while in custody was what was happening to people outside the facility since he couldn't hear any of the munitions from inside.

In typical Steve fashion, he also made a number of new friends while detained.

One of the most underrated drops on the Switch. I am still hoping we get Echoes of Courage in the future!

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom released one year ago.

Last we heard it sold ~3 million copies worldwide.

Since the 3DS, the partnership between Nintendo and Grezzo has been very productive (and underrated).
