Texas is separating families at the border in apparent ‘harsh and cruel’ shift in policy, immigration attorney says: Texas has separated at least 26 migrant family units on the southern border since July 10 under Gov. Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star border initiative, according to Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid immigration attorney Kristin Etter. “This is just a very harsh and cruel detour from the asylum process,” Etter told CNN in an interview Wednesday.

Why Trump’s Indictment Matters: For a brief moment, America is refusing to be an accountability-free zone. Will it last? Accountability must extend to Republican authoritarians, as well as Democrats whose betrayals and soft corruption create backlash conditions that fuel right-wing extremists, as Franklin Roosevelt warned. Accountability must finally become the ethos of the electorate and our culture writ large, which is too frequently electing and empowering the politicians in both parties who are committing environmental, war, economic, financial, and human rights crimes.

‘It’s a Crisis’; Maternal Health Care Disappears for Millions: New data from the nonpartisan health advocacy group March of Dimes shows that the U.S. saw a 4 percent decline in hospitals with labor and delivery services between 2019 and 2020.

Our open border is creating Bidenvilles of homelessness: New York’s dense population and high rents make it harder to hide the homeless than in cities more spread out. With his city’s shelters full, Adams has rented hundreds of hotels and opened dozens of emergency facilities, from churches to parking lots , to house supposed asylum-seekers. He’s even tried to pay private homeowners to put them up. It’ll never be enough, as he now seems to understand.
