Motown Bombers

It does seem like the Canadian woman was wrongfully detained. Ironically, if she entered via Canada she wouldn't have been detained. Her case was presented as there is no racial bias and it seems the only reason she was detained was because she entered through Mexico. Irony. "Eagles said Jasmine obtained a three-year work visa for the U.S. last spring and had been living in Los Angeles, working in marketing communications. According to Eagles, Mooney came back to Canada for a visit in November and when she tried to return to the States, her visa was revoked and she was denied entry. Eagles is less clear on what happened next, but said that Mooney then got "some sort of consulting visa application." "She attempted to return to the States with the new visa, and she had already been flagged so they just detained her," Eagles said. "As we understand it, it's because she was entering via Mexico … we believe that had she been entering, tried to enter directly through Canada, they would have just turned her around." https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/canadian-detained-us-border-1.7483021

And the kid wasn't in the country illegally, provided proof, and still wasn't released. He wasn't given due process and kept in deplorable conditions. It's not how the US is supposed to operate. BTW, Obama deported more people than Trump so no the previous administration didn't look the other way.

"Noviello is the 10th person to die in ICE custody during fiscal year 2025, which runs from October, according to the agency's data. Those deaths include a Haitian woman who spent more than 10 weeks in immigration custody and was held in allegedly inhumane conditions." I feel so totally owned. One of the ten people ICE killed so far is Canadian.

I like how Galaga has gone so off the rails he is posting links about all the people being killed in ICE custody as some sort of gotcha.

Yes, Trump 2.0 is even worse than 1.0. Thanks for clearing that up.

No, per the article YOU provided, he said he was born in Dallas and even provided a social security card and birth certificate. "When officials questioned Galicia, he told them he was born in Dallas. He also produced a Texas ID, a Social Security card and a copy of a wallet-sized birth certificate." Even when presented with more documentation, they still wouldn't release him. "Finally, she hired Galan, who says that on July 12, she drove to the Rio Grande Border Patrol station with a copy of Galicia's full birth certificate, hospital birth records, his Texas Medicaid card and a student ID. Still, CBP officials said they could not release Galicia." I'm assuming the different names are of the mother and not of the kid. "She explained confusion over Galicia's nationality stemmed from a tourist visa issued when he was a child and the fact that his mother used an assumed name on Francisco's birth certificate." Ok, errors happen, but they were provided overwhelming documentation and still wouldn't release him. Why did it take 26 days, and what would have happened if the lawyer didn't intervene? From the article you posted: ""However," she said, "[CBP] has access to a database where they can check that Francisco was born here in the U.S. It shouldn't have been a problem. They shouldn't have kept him for 26 days just to confirm that he was a natural born citizen." Lets look at the real reason he was detained, per you article: "Galan noted Galicia's prolonged detention and near-deportation comes on the heels of a move by the Trump administration to expand fast-track deportation regulations to include the removal of undocumented immigrants who cannot prove they have been in the U.S. continuously for two years or more." The same thing is happening today, but even worse. Why was it so important to detain this kid for nearly a month when he had all the documentation? Literally the opposite of undocumented. There is no justification for how this went down.

Yeah, the article made it worse. He was born in the US and had a birth certificate and yet he was still detained for 26 days and not given the same rights as people who were arrested. It still doesn't explain why this kid was such a high priority.

Yeah, Trump 1.0 was terrible too.

He has a birth certificate. If it’s a US certificate, why would he have a visa? Also, why the **** are we detaining 18 year olds because of conflicts with a visa? This kid is really top priority?

Why would teams be calling a player's agent about their availability in a trade instead of the team? I say silly things some times.

I watched it. I didn't find it too interesting. I skipped over the Burrow and Cousins parts.

Hopefully they don't listen to Obama bros like David Plouffe who muzzled Tim Walz and stopped him from his weird attacks.

MAGA is melting down over this. This is the first thing in a while that I could see splintering the base.

I'm leaning into it because the Republicans campaigned on it and promised to release it. Call the Republicans bluff and watch them scramble like cockroaches.

Looking back at Suh's career with the Lions, he was a 4x Pro Bowler and 4x All-Pro in 5 seasons with the Lions. After leaving the Lions 10 years ago, he made only one Pro Bowl and was a 1x 2nd team All-Pro. He had an Aaron Donald like career trajectory and really just faded away. He seemed like a sure Hall of Famer with the Lions, but now I'm not sure. Guess the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

I'm curious to see what Johnson's offense looks like when he has a QB that's the exact opposite of Goff. Goff was more involved in the offense than people give him credit for. Can Williams make the changes at the line like Goff? The Lions offense is big on rhythm and timing, something Williams struggled with.
