The recent case involving an undocumented immigrant who worked as a campaign aide has reignited public debate surrounding immigration policy, employment eligibility for non-citizens, and the role of DACA recipients in the workforce. The individual, originally from Ecuador, arrived in the U.S. at age seven in 2001 on a visitor’s visa, which was later overstayed. He eventually became a beneficiary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which offered temporary protection from deportation. Deportation and Self-Exile: A Bittersweet Decision In a surprising move, the former aide reportedly chose to self-deport to Colombia, calling the decision bittersweet. “It’s bittersweet.…

Pete Buttigieg has officially ruled out a run for Michigan’s soon-to-be-vacant U.S. Senate seat, a move that has stirred speculation about his long-term political ambitions, particularly a potential bid for the presidency in 2028. Buttigieg, who served as U.S. Transportation Secretary and previously ran in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, announced this week that he would not pursue a campaign for Senate or governor of Michigan in 2026, despite earlier reports that he was considering both options. “I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against…
A federal court has approved the deportation of a 30-year-old international student, citing alleged misrepresentation on a visa application. The decision was issued by an immigration judge in a Louisiana courtroom and has sparked public debate regarding immigration procedures and legal protections for non-citizens. According to the ruling, the individual will be removed from the United States under existing visa regulations. The court found that the person had failed to disclose certain past affiliations and employment history during the visa process, which were deemed material to their immigration status. During the hearing, the individual expressed dissatisfaction with the proceedings, claiming…
In a dramatic escalation of tensions between federal and state governments over energy and climate policy, the Department of Justice has launched an unprecedented legal offensive against four states. The federal lawsuits, filed last week against Hawaii, Michigan, New York, and Vermont, represent one of the most aggressive assertions of federal authority over state-level environmental initiatives in recent memory and signal the federal government’s determination to protect fossil fuel interests from what it characterizes as overreaching state regulation. The legal actions, initiated under an executive order titled “Protecting American Energy from State Overreach,” target two distinct categories of state climate…
Rep. Jasmine Crockett Under Fire for Controversial Remarks and Federal Scrutiny Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), a member of the progressive bloc often referred to as “The Squad,” is facing renewed criticism over remarks that some have interpreted as confrontational, as well as a separate federal investigation into her campaign finances. In a recent interview with former television host Don Lemon, Crockett discussed her Republican colleague, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). When asked if she was concerned about Greene or her supporters becoming physical, Crockett responded, “I don’t worry about her doing anything physical… Plus, I think that she may be…
Buttons wasn’t supposed to be anything special. Just a calf born early spring—scrawny, off-balance, always trying to nibble on the drawstrings of my hoodie. But my son Ezra fell for her fast. Every morning before school, he’d run out in that same “SUPER 08” shirt and help bottle-feed her. Every afternoon, he’d race off the bus just to see if she’d learned anything new. “She follows me now!” he shouted once, grinning like his heart was too big for his chest. The dog would trail behind them, like the three of them were some little squad. That calf turned into…
I didn’t expect the officer to say anything kind, let alone offer to pray. We were pulled over on the side of Highway 281, engine running, my McDonald’s breakfast barely touched. The sun had barely risen, and my nerves were already shot. My brother had passed less than an hour earlier. I’d gotten the call while in the drive-thru line, and I guess I wasn’t paying attention to my speed. Blue and red lights followed almost immediately. I kept it together when he walked up. Told him the truth. Couldn’t even hide the crack in my voice. Then he surprised…
So yeah. This is me and my grandma, Nadine. She’s 87, stubborn in the best way, sharper than most people I know, and for the last six months, she’s also been my unexpected roommate. And no, I didn’t exactly clear it with my girlfriend before she moved in. Before you come for me, here’s the context: Grandma lived alone in this old house two hours outside the city. After a minor stroke (she calls it a “tiny blip”), my mom started pushing to move her into a nursing facility. Grandma said no. Hard no. The kind of no where she…
