ICE just kidnapped another child in Minnesota - this time a 2-year-old girl.
No warrant, no removal order - and the child had a signed release order from a judge.

What we hoped would happen in Gaza: Israeli withdrawal, rebuilding by Palestinians with help from agencies. What's proposed: effectively a slave-labour camp for the Palestinians under complete surveillance and control by Israel/US. No freedom, no self-determination. Slavery.

More intense weather is forecast for this weekend and next week, including extreme heat across parts of South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland.
