Not to mention dog walkers. I admit to being guilty, but I usually plan to start after the runners. Especially since my pug/beagle mix tends to wander a bit and has a mind/nose of her own

Jensy Machado — Northern Virginia (March 2025) Machado, a naturalized U.S. citizen, says ICE stopped and handcuffed him while he was driving to work in Manassas during a broader enforcement operation. Although he offered to show identification, agents — reportedly with guns drawn — ordered him out of the car and detained him until they verified his ID. He was released once they did. Machado said he had voted for the current president — but now questions that support: “they’re just following Hispanic‑looking people,” he told reporters. 16‑year‑old court intern — Rhode Island (November 20, 2025) A high‑school intern working at a state Superior Court in Providence was mistakenly detained by ICE agents outside the courthouse. Video later showed him being handcuffed and moved between unmarked vehicles. The person ICE was allegedly searching for was a “child predator,” according to DHS. But after intervention by the court and verification of identity, the teen was released. State judiciary leaders condemned the arrest — calling it “egregious” and highlighting how such mistakes undermine trust and the public’s sense of safety.

I think the problem is too many newly hired agents have not been properly trained and/or have gone rogue. Too little oversight. This makes the entire organization look bad.

Relying on Chatgpt

Fifth Amendment of the U-S Constitution... No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.” It does not say “citizens.” It does not say “lawful residents.” It says persons, meaning anyone physically inside U.S. territory, regardless of immigration status. This has been upheld repeatedly by the Supreme Court since the 1800s.

Short answer, yes the may arrest people in the states illegally. I.E Proper and legal warrants and the arrests are made on a legal bases. They do not have the authority to arrest anyone off the street just because they think they can.

Much bigger loser than the 1962 Mets

You need the beef tallow to fry the turkeys not fatten them up

I consider smoothies a second cousin to a milkshake, depending on where you get it or what you used. Never considered turkeys to be carnorvores. There used to be, maybe there still is, a turkey farm on Five Mile in Livonia. We bought one for Thanksgiving several years ago. It was pretty good.

Fattened on beef and smoothies. Sounds like Arby’s meets Jamba Juice

Good news, my wife had knee replacement just over a year ago. A bit surprising that it is now basically outpatient surgery. She's just about fully recovered except for the occasional flashes she gets from a nerve or two. We did several longish walks/mini hikes while on vacation, including a few tough hills with no problems. The only really scary part was when she fell in the bathroom the first night post surgury. She had the walker but just went down, nothing was damaged in the process outside of her pride. She had a minor tumble earlier in the evening which turned out to be instrumental in getting her back on her feet the second time. i was asleep and she didn't wake me til she fell.

Actually with Musk basically in charge of the Space Program (or so it seems) I'm not sure this administration could find the moon, let alone land on it.

I'm learning that New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have a very interesting history post French/Indian War into the American Revolution.

Do it and the Senator jumps to #1 on the Democrats list of possible Presidential contenders.

The Trump Justice Dept has a worse record than the 2003 Tigers
