I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting.
I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.

It’s not repeal of 230 it’s an anti trans censorship bill. These democrats hate the lgbtqia plus community and want them dead as bad as any republican.

When you read the full transcript, Newsom's bigotry is even more clear: "We didn’t get into trans sports. That’s an issue no one wants to hear about... But it comes from my heart, not just my head. It wasn’t a political evolution. I don’t think it’s fair."
Here's where that quote that the GOP is pushing came from: yesterday's Ezra Klein podcast. Newsom brought it up unprompted. Doesn't really say what he believes, but seemed to want to get on the record as slightly less antagonistic to trans people.

Judge Xinis ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release in part bc ICE could not produce a final “order of removal” to deport him. So last night, they went out and got an immigration judge to issue one.
Now, Abrego is urging Xinis to block his redetention. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
