The Trump administration is sending all pregnant unaccompanied minors apprehended by immigration enforcement to a single group shelter in South Texas. This is a sharp turn from longstanding federal practice, which placed them in shelters or foster homes equipped to handle high-risk pregnancies.
Feds are sending pregnant migrant girls to Texas shelter
Government sources and advocates for the children worry the goal is to concentrate them in Texas, where abortion is banned.

Trump didn’t really TACO. Homan didn’t change tactics. They just wanted the media to look away
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
