Actually, the lawyers for the so-called (aka, called by 'pubbies) “illegal immigrants” should run with that and say, “Hey, my clients are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States so you cannot arrest, try, imprison, or even deport them!” ETA: I see @Johnny_L.A beat me to saying essentiallly the same thing. ---

Adoption should not occur during or immediately after emergencies. Every effort should be made to reunify children with their families when possible, if such reunification is in their best interest,” UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said in a joint statement." ---

Rachel Hamm, who is running for California Secretary of State, claims that she was inspired to run because her son found Jesus hanging out in his closet and Jesus gave the kid a scroll telling his mother to run for Secretary of State. She claims to have prophetic dreams and that her son is a seer. > **[California MAGA candidate says she’s running because Jesus spoke to her son in...](https://www.rawstory.com/rachel-hamm/)** > > California Republican Rachel Hamm is running for Secretary of State in the June primary.

this needs to be reposted over here > [@Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/omnibus-stupid-mfers-in-the-news-thread/931945/2799): > > Ford is building a massive plant in Tennessee, 15 minutes from the small town of Mason. Mason is majority black, but for most of its history, the entire city government was run by white people. The entire white government was recently replaced due to massive fraud, even though the state government approved their budgets for the entire time the white people ran it. Now that black people are running the town, the state has told them that they are going to need to give up the town charter, due to a pattern of badly run government. Giving up the charter basically wipes the town off the maps. The state officially took over the town yesterday despite the town government’s objections. > [https://themountain.news/news/predominantly-black-town-ordered-to-surrender-charter-after-ford-invests-in-area](https://themountain.news/news/predominantly-black-town-ordered-to-surrender-charter-after-ford-invests-in-area) ---
