Richard "Beebo" Russell's Final Flight At 2:36 p.m. on August 10, 2018, Richard "Beebo" Russell clocked in for another shift at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Surveillance cameras captured the 28-year-old Horizon Air ground service agent flashing his employee badge at the employee security checkpoint before disappearing into the controlled side of the airport. He wore a black T-shirt printed with the words, The Sky's No Limit. At that moment, nothing separated Russell

Daughter Says Cuban Mother Has Spent Eight Months in ICE Detention Despite Dismissed Removal Proceedings Xiomara Companioni González walked into what her family says was a routine immigration check-in on Nov. 13, 2025. According to her daughter, Yaimi Yanet, she never walked back out. ICE detained the 63-year-old Cuban national, and she has remained in federal custody while her immigration case continues through the legal system. Court records confirm she has remained detaine

New Poll Delivers Bad News for Trump The warning lights flashing around President Donald Trump no longer come from political opponents alone. Polling data now delivers its own verdict, carrying numbers few presidents welcome as the midterm campaign accelerates. A new CNN poll places Trump's job approval at 34 percent, matching the lowest rating of his political career. The same survey finds 73 percent of Americans believe he focuses on the wrong priorities. Among Republicans,

Donald Trump sold his immigration crackdown with a familiar economic promise: remove undocumented workers from the labor market and American workers will have more opportunities. The economics have proved considerably less cooperative. A 2026 working paper distributed by the National Bureau of Economic Research examined communities exposed to increased Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity during Trump’s second term. Researchers found that as likely undocumented men di

Your Pet Can Now Pick Up Prescriptions at the Pharmacy For years, pet owners have made an extra stop after leaving the veterinarian, then driving across town to a specialty pet pharmacy or waiting days for medications to arrive in the mail. Now, one of the country's largest pharmacy chains is changing that routine. Beginning this week, CVS Pharmacy announced that it will now fill prescriptions for many common pet medications at thousands of its locations nationwide, making it

Everyone knows about the raids, but fewer people are tracking the paperwork behind them. Wednesday morning, unmarked vehicles circled unsuspecting subjects, carrying them away in handcuffs. The raids that people see on the news are now happening in Starr County. Residents believed this would never reach them. What's landing in Starr County didn't start there. It started with a plan built in Washington, long before any vehicle circled a parking lot in Rio Grande City looking f

Ken Paxton stood behind a podium in Fort Worth on Tuesday, flanked by more than a dozen sheriffs in cowboy hats. "While we have been working to support law enforcement, there have been others working to undermine it," he said, aiming the remark at Senate opponent James Talarico over a 2020 donation to the Austin Justice Coalition. A reporter offered Paxton a chance to respond to The New York Times investigation about multiple properties he owned. Paxton asked that the questio

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not attend the vote on the Basic Law: Torah Study at all. Two days later he showed up for the second bill, took his seat, then left before lawmakers cast their votes. Opposition members shouted "shame" and "go" as he walked out. Both bills passed that week, both years in the making, both centered on military service for ultra-Orthodox men. The first enshrines Torah study as a fundamental value in Israel's Basic Law, the constitutional lay

Starr County officials confirmed the county's first case of New World Screwworm on a calf in the western part of the county over the weekend. County Judge Eloy Vera reported that a resident north of Roma flagged a possible case Saturday, and state officials confirmed the case the same day. Vera plans to meet with the Texas Animal Health Commission on Monday to determine next steps. The parasite behind the outbreak, Cochliomyia hominivorax, disappeared from the United States d

Remember when we were told those giant orange buoys would secure the border? Texas remembers. So does the Rio Grande. For days now, South Texans have watched surreal images of enormous orange floating barriers, some weighing nearly a ton, drifting helplessly down the Rio Grande, piling against international bridges, disrupting commercial traffic, forcing emergency declarations, and turning one of the busiest trade corridors in North America into an obstacle course. What was m

The Trump administration filed its first application with the Alien Terrorist Removal Court on July 15. Congress created this tribunal in 1996 and no administration used it until now. The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act established the court and authorizes the chief justice to appoint five district judges from five different circuits to decide whether noncitizens accused of terrorism-related activity should be removed from the country. The mechanism sat untouche

A post on Threads has gone viral: immigration is paperwork law, and nobody should die over paperwork. No caveats can soften that sentence, and none are needed. It sets a moral floor that predates any statute. The floor has needed restating all year, in different states, under different agencies. An ICE officer fatally shot a man on Canal Street in a predominantly Latino neighborhood of Houston in July, prompting LULAC to demand release of all body cam, dash cam, and bystander

Greg Abbott spent years courting data center developers with tax exemptions and a permissive interconnection framework, treating incoming investment as an unconditional good. As recently as late 2025, he described Texas as the "epicenter of AI development." In June, he sent a formal letter to the Public Utility Commission and ERCOT directing both agencies to immediately shield residential ratepayers from data center infrastructure costs. By July 1, at a campaign event in Bull

Sean Teare serves as the Harris County District Attorney in Houston, a Democrat elected to oversee prosecutions across the county. Before taking office, he spent close to twenty years in law enforcement, including more than a decade teaching cadets at the Houston Police Department Academy. That background now places him at the center of two competing investigations into a federal agency operating largely outside his jurisdiction. He told CBS News this week the vehicle-stop ta

Susan Collins picked an interesting week to defend an agency's honor. On Tuesday, a day after an ICE officer shot Joan Sebastian Guerrero through his windshield in Biddeford, Maine, in front of his three-year-old daughter, the senator told reporters ICE could improve but deserved defending against its harshest opponents. Guerrero wasn't the target of the operation, and he was driving to work when the agent fired. He lived in the country legally. "There's no doubt that ICE nee

Professor Daniel Z. Epstein joins a list of Trump lawyers who have lost their standing for representing him. On Monday, U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams barred him from practicing in the Southern District of Florida for one year. She also referred a second Trump attorney, Alejandro Brito, to the Florida Bar for possible discipline. Both sanctions come from Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, a case filed by a sitting president against agencies led by his own app

Federal antitrust law has existed since the late 1800s because unchecked corporate power gouges consumers. The DOJ's Antitrust Division enforces that law, blocking mergers that crush competition and prosecuting price-fixing schemes that pad corporate margins at everyone else's expense. Under Attorney General Todd Blanche, that enforcement has quietly collapsed, and the collapse has a name attached to it. Gail Slater ran the Antitrust Division for nearly a year before she resi

Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina died Saturday night at his Capitol Hill home. He was 71. The District of Columbia medical examiner's preliminary findings point to an aortic dissection, a tear in the body's main artery, brought on by underlying arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Emergency responders had answered a call reporting cardiac arrest and transported him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His office released the findings and asked for privacy

Patrick Byrne built a reputation on claiming inside knowledge of conspiracies few people ever verified. On Friday, a federal judge in Los Angeles ruled his biggest claim yet, an $800 million bribery scheme between Hunter Biden and Iran, never happened. The ruling cost Byrne $1.7 million. U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson, a Reagan appointee, entered a default judgment against Byrne after years of litigation. The case traces back to a 2023 interview in which Byrne claimed Hun
