Essex County jail: In April it was announced the county would end its practice of housing federal ICE detainees.
More than 30 federal immigration detainees at the Essex County jail were transferred Tuesday to unknown locations, raising concerns from advocates who have long pushed not just for the closure of such facilities but also for the release of those held in them.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency transferred another 16 detainees held in Essex County in the early morning hours, a county official said, leaving the immigration detainee population at the jail at 60. Essex County officials had expected the number to drop since all of the ICE detainees need to leave the building in seven weeks.
A side effect of the pandemic can be seen along city streets across Denver. More people are unhoused and trying to survive, but local businesses are blaming these growing homeless camps for a spike in crime.

Almost as old as human conflict is the commemoration of conflict in art. The earliest paintings of humans at war go back some 10,000 years and depict men fighting over territory, resources, and even women captives. Through all the centuries that have since passed, the arts have been a part of the human experience of war, whether in paintings, sculpture, or music. Now, in movies and even video games, man is compelled to create even as he destroys. To take brush in hand and try to get the intense emotions experienced during war onto a canvas. To share that experience of war with others, to inform and perhaps even to warn.

In the end, not even Longwood’s Big South-leading defense could keep No. 1 seed Winthrop from getting back to the Big South Championship game.
Led by what was nearly a second straight triple-double by Big South Player of the Year Chandler Vaudrin, the Big South Regular Season Champion Eagles (22-1) extended one of the strongest runs in college basketball this year by taking down No. 5 seed Longwood 82-61 in the semifinals of the 2021 Big South Championship Thursday night at Winthrop Coliseum.
