Some of us have been out of school for a while and may have forgotten our American history. Protesting injustice and expressing our opinions is part of our American tradition and what makes this, in fact, a free country. That’s what the Constitution is all about.

One constant is the family separations. The wife crying on way to church shelter whose husband is missing. The mom begging for help to find her 18 yo son. The Chinese mom who spent 3 days standing in a parking lot watching every CBP bus empty until she found her 20 yo daughter.

We have been so busy the last 2 weeks, I have not even had one moment to share this post until now. Since 9/13, @ImmDef & partners have welcomed more than 8000 asylum seekers inhumanely dropped on the streets of San Diego by CBP with little more than the clothes on their backs.

On this day in 2011, Georgia executed Troy Davis despite new evidence of his innocence. The evidence was so compelling that three of his jurors urged the government to stop the execution. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. calendar.eji.org/racial-inju…

Yesterday at the border wall I met a man who had fled violence in Costa Rica. @katelinthicum has a story about what that looks like. latimes.com/world-nation/sto…
Costa Rica, the once-peaceful land of 'pura vida,' battles violence as cocaine trade grows

Costa Rica, the once-peaceful land of 'pura vida,' battles violence as cocaine trade grows

Killings have increased sharply in Costa Rica, the long-peaceful nation known for its laid-back vibe. The drug violence has put the country's identity at stake.

We found city staff used misleading data and anecdotes to build a case about the risk of fires started by encampments, one of the core reasons some elected leaders said a camping ban was necessary. buff.ly/3qEOvnV
