Promise made: mass deportation

what social good is produced by actions like this?

Salt Lake's music community rallied around one of their own who was detained by ICE.

John Shin, a violinist who received Bachelor's and Master's degrees at the University of Utah for violin performance, was detained on Monday. He reportedly only had a 30-second phone call to explain what was going on.

"I don't know anything about the specifics of his case, but I was kind of shocked. John is a husband and a father and has been working not only in the arts but in other jobs as well since he graduated from college," said Robert Baldwin, a former teacher of Shin's at the University of Utah.

Baldwin is also the conductor of both the Salt Lake Symphony and Sinfonia Salt Lake, where Shin plays the violin.

"He's worked really hard to make an impact and be a part of that community and be involved not only with, you know, just playing music but also just engaged with the teaching and with all of the different types of things you can do as an artist bringing music to audiences," Baldwin said. "John is a really unique individual. And I knew that as soon as he showed up as a young freshman and it's continued to develop to this day. He's very serious. He is dedicated and committed, and he also has an awful lot of fun. He definitely enjoys the aspect of making music and just dives into it. I've never seen, or rarely [have] seen people get so excited about doing a particular piece of music," Baldwin said.

He said Shin has also played for the Utah Symphony and is a children's violin teacher.

A Facebook post from Shin's wife detailed how he was detained. In part, it read: "On Monday, at 2:30pm I got a call from John-- 'Honey, I don't have much time. I've been arrested by ICE and they are sending me to a detainment center. I love you and the kids, I will be okay, please call our attorney' and then he was rushed off the phone. I have no more details, no more information than those short 30 seconds."

legal permanent resident, mother of four

detrained because she got caught smoking pot 22 years ago

During the 10 days after Jimenez Rosa was detained, the family would be thrust into a bureaucratic maze as the 42-year-old mother was shuttled between detention facilities — including one for men only — from Massachusetts to Maine. She was denied proper health care for her diabetes, asthma and other serious health issues, which led to two hospitalizations, her lawyer said.





All the while, her husband — a former Department of Homeland Security employee who grew up in Boston — struggled to locate her and secure her release through court intervention.

Jimenez Rosa’s time in custody ended with her alone, wet and begging for help at The Cheesecake Factory in the Burlington Mall, after ICE agents released her into the rainy street outside the detention facility Wednesday night. She was 30 miles from home, with no phone and a broken spirit.

You misspelled Alligator Auschwitz

RIP Alligator Alcatraz

The Miccosukee won because Florida quit -- I guess somebody told them they were going to lose in court...

....Or maybe the COVID outbreak got too out of hand

So, we just burned 300-400 million bucks on that

A top Florida official says the controversial state-run immigration detention facility in the Everglades will likely be empty in a matter of days, even as Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration and the federal government fight a judge’s order to shutter the facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” by late October. That’s according to an email exchange shared with The Associated Press.


In a message sent to South Florida Rabbi Mario Rojzman on Aug. 22 related to providing chaplaincy services at the facility, Florida Division of Emergency Management Executive Director Kevin Guthrie said “we are probably going to be down to 0 individuals within a few days,” implying there would soon be no need for the services.

OK, release the Holman tape.

Release the Epstein files.

You don't want either to be released.

You can't even say Holman's taking a $50,000 bribe would be a bad thing.

Did you never have any morals, Rin-Rin?

[Winehole23]

Nah, just show your evidence

Let's stipulate that you were just elected US President and were assembling a new team for the DarrinS administration. Would you pick for your team a man who basically just admitted (it was known at the time) taking $50,000 in a bag to influence policy?
