"Liam isn’t the only child or even the only 5-year-old jailed where he is now. Lawyer Eric Lee, who saw detainees with ashen faces when he went inside the Dilley, Texas detention center last week, told me his clients are dealing with bugs and dirt in their food, putrid water mixed with baby formula, and denial of medical care."

"MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: 'Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!'

"The participant at the Jan. 24 vigil was an Iraq War veteran from Kansas City who taught in a Catholic school there. He did not want his name used for fear of retribution but he encouraged other Catholics to become actively involved, saying: 'There is a power in our presence.'"

"What do Foursquare Church leaders think of Noem’s lies about Good, Pretti, and how the two were killed?
