“I agree with you, I’m working on it, man,” he said. “Give me another five days.” Those five days have long since passed. But little has changed when it comes to private prisons for immigration detention. Although the Biden Administration has touted the recent closure of two notoriously abusive immigration detention facilities, almost 200 other immigration detention facilities remain open nationwide, many with equally abusive conditions. It’s true that in January 2021, President Biden signed an executive order directing the Department of Justice (DOJ) to end the use of privately operated federal prisons and jails, a move hailed by advocates as an important first step....
The poll also showed that Biden has expanded his support among Hispanic voters in Arizona, something that is also happening in Miami-Dade, Florida’s largest county. The Hispanic vote is considered necessary to clinching victory in both states. The poll, conducted by The New York Times and Siena College, showed Arizona’s Hispanic voters overwhelmingly supporting Biden 65 percent to Trump’s 27 percent. Hispanic voters are expected to make up 20 percent of Arizona’s ballot casters....
These painful events evoke nightmarish memories of all that transpired in Iraq when in 2011 the U.S. decided to withdraw its military. Three years later it rushed back to combat the most dangerous terrorist organization in the world—the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as ISIS. What transpired devastated innocent minorities. Iraq is the ancestral land of two Indigenous peoples: the Yazidis and Iraq’s Christians, the Assyrians. These two groups lived peacefully for most of their history in the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers....
In Guantanamo, I can tell you, everyone took this news seriously. The Joint Task Force that runs the prison gave each detainee a copy of the president’s order. High-ranking officers toured the camp and spoke with many detainees. An Air Force captain and a four-star Navy Admiral sat and talked with me, assuring me that the camp’s dark days of inhumane treatment were coming to an end. As a then-young African, I was stunned....
The heartbreaking news from Texas is the bloodiest instance of human trafficking on the U.S.-Mexico border in modern history, but it’s hardly unique. In late June near Laredo, Texas, a human smuggler evading law enforcement crashed his vehicle into a semi truck, killing himself and four illegal immigrants. In Kinney County, Texas, one migrant was killed and six others hurt in a rollover accident. And in Brooks County, Texas, illegal immigrants fled a vehicle as police arrested the smuggler behind the wheel....
You can find evidence for the social impact Biden’s infrastructure plan could have in Europe, where leaders of the European Union and individual European governments look across the continent and seek to “balance” growth. For example, on a trip to the EU 20 years ago, I learned about plans to accelerate development along the Barcelona-to-Kiev axis as a way to balance the highly developed and wealthy London-to-Milan corridor. The plan was to lay high-speed rail lines along the developing East-West arc, to accelerate economic growth and integration....
So, for a few weeks til the Big Day, we’ll be running a tracker - but not of opinion polls. Instead, we’ll be looking at what social media and online forums are talking about, the manner in which they are discussing it and the conclusions they are deriving, as ways of understanding which way the wind is blowing, and what President the world will get. The numbers come from monitoring company Impact Social, which carries out a weekly tracker of social media sentiment analysis of 40,000 swing voters of every hue—from the disgruntled supporters of each party to the free thinkers who will vote but are still deciding....
All of the Israeli officers made their best cases to their American counterparts. Most believed the Americans were open to the information they provided, and left Washington convinced that the Americans finally recognized the danger and would act to block Iran from achieving its nefarious goal. On at least one occasion, their efforts were rewarded. In 2018, after Israel’s Mossad spy agency spirited Iran’s nuclear archive out of a warehouse in Tehran and brought it to Israel, Israel’s spy chiefs flew to Washington to share the findings with the Trump administration....
There has been a significant increase in the number of migrants attempting to cross the border since Biden took office on January 20, with Republicans blaming the president for rolling back the hardline immigration policies of former President Donald Trump. The surge has included a large number of unaccompanied minors, which has also prompted criticism from Democrats due to the temporary detainment of the children. During an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that aired Tuesday night, Biden said that the government was “sending back” many of the adults that are now attempting the border crossing....
Like the original ZO2 shoe, the ‘Sho’Time’ edition can also be yours for a cool $495. MORE: LaVar Ball had BBB hat ready in Lakers colors The only difference between the ZO2, which is a low-cut black and gold shoe, and the ‘Sho’Time’ version appears to be color scheme. Ball’s new shoe rocks the famous Laker purple and gold. The Big Baller Brand website is taking pre-orders for the shoes and says it ships February 10 — just in time for the 2018 All-Star Game in Los Angeles....
Adelaide Strikers finished fourth in the points table with 28 points. They managed to win six games out of eight. They faced the Sydney Sixers in their last league game, defeating them comprehensively. Strikers did well to restrict the Sixers to 161 for the loss of seven wickets. Their top-order batters then stepped up to chase down the total in the 18th over, winning the game by eight wickets. They will be looking for a similar performance in the eliminator against the Hurricanes....

His victory was a feel-good moment that WWE will do well to maintain throughout his upcoming title reign....
Providence enters the 2022 Big East Tournament as the No. 1 seed after capturing its first regular-season championship with a win over Creighton on Saturday. The Friars are far from an overwhelming favorite to win the tournament, though. Marquette, Seton Hall, UConn and Villanova are all considered NCAA Tournament teams. The Wildcats in particular could present a challenge, as they defeated the Friars twice during the regular season. And there’s always the possibility of a Cinderella run....
Big Man ’s group Deep Cut both performs music and hosts the news show “Anarchy Splatcast.” Big Man’s bandmates include an Octoling named Shiver, who is described as a shark tamer, and an energetic Inkling named Frye. Together, the group hosts the series’ first ever three-team Splatfests, as well as performing high-energy music with a distinct kabuki inspiration. Although fans responded positively to all three Deep Cut members, Big Man quickly stood head and fins above the others in terms of popularity, bringing Breath of the Wild’s Zora Prince to mind....
Listeners were shocked to hear Aiko’s accompaniment on the track considering the former couple quietly called it quits on their relationship earlier this year. On the new song, Sean appears to mull over the demise of his relationship and the many negative impacts a romance suffers when partners blame each other for failures within their union. He also suggests the importance of taking time to focus on his own needs following a breakup....
National champion, Orange Bowl champion, 11 teams with winning records. It was the all-encompassing company line. The ACC seemed on the cusp of making a run at its southern cousin in the Power 5, the almighty SEC. It’s not there yet. The ACC looks much closer to a much less-desirable northern relative. No. 1 Florida State is the exemption — as long as there is a return to normalcy with defending Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston next week....
In this week’s recap of gaming news, Sony’s 2021 PlayStation showcase brought a ton of news for several AAA announcements, for both new and upcoming PS5 games. The Epic Games vs. Apple lawsuit has concluded, with all but one count in favor of Epic Games, despite it being the most important anti-trust complaint of the lawsuit as a whole.
