Texas ranch owner says the CBP can t act because their hands are tied.
A rancher in south Texas told America s Newsroom on Thursday that the Customs and Border Protection agency have said that their hands are tied during the migrant surge and that affected residents will have to default to local authorities. John Sewell s interview with host Dana Perino was interrupted at one point as authorities tracked migrants who had entered his property.
JOHN SEWELL: The basic thing we got from this yesterday, unfortunately, we re not going to get a lot of support from the CBP. They basically said their hands are tied and the best thing for us is to work with our state reps, our Congress, so on, and so our local officials are all doing as much as they can. . So, you know, it s very unfortunate that we don t have support from our local army, from our CBP.
Dear friends and RSR readers:
I must ask your kind forgiveness in my being absent for so long, but hope and trust you do understand that in addition to my currently working on three books and teaching classes at a local (Miami) fine and fully accredited university, I am involved with numerous local and statewide history projects and initiatives but want to assure you all that I will work diligently to improve my time performance.
Miami’s 125th anniversary is coming up in July and I am pleased to share a piece which I re-wrote for a fellow who is doing a yeoman’s job in preparing for said anniversary. Please enjoy but please remember that while this piece was written by my friend, Cesar Becerra, I did a major restructuring and correction(s) job and so I am not taking credit for anything but that, along with correcting some of the facts, in several cases in which said corrections needed to be made in order to be certain that truth was being conveyed.

Over the past year, most of us have upped our walking game. Whether it’s a quick half-hour trip to a dog park or a two-hour trek along the Humber or Don Rivers, getting some fresh air and exercise has been essential in keeping us grounded – and healthy. Scientists say it’s more important than ever to get outside – properly distanced, of course. So lace up those walking shoes, fill up that water bottle, put on that hat and sunblock and enjoy the city’s parks and recreation.

One’s first impression of Habitations Saint-Michel Nord is one of surprise. Surprise at a symphony of super-sized cylinders in reality, glorified fire exits projecting from the front façades. The festive mood, as exemplified in the transformation of this major 50-year-old housing project, is indicative of a radical change of attitude towards social housing.The original buildings have been stripped of their dull-brown masonry and concrete façades, and are now clad in vibrantly coloured brick, with staircases to match. This unabashed celebration of life send

For decades the Toronto Police Service has been criticized for ordering “a very large portion of people arrested” to take off their clothing while at a police station or sometimes even at the side of a road.
“Strip-search opportunities are abused elsewhere, but not as systemically or as regularly as they are in the city of Toronto,” says criminal defence Lawyer, Kim Schofield.
In January of this year, data shows Toronto Police performed strip-searches on more than 270 people per week. That’s 40 times higher than any other big city police service in Ontario. In February, that number dropped dramatically to about 40 per week.
