  • In 2000, Congress created a visa category for victims of crime who are in the country unlawfully if they assist law enforcement officials. The aim was to lower crime by encouraging victims to cooperate with the authorities without fearing deportation.

    The lawyers representing Mr. Aljorna, who has been ordered deported by an immigration judge, and Mr. Sosa-Celis say they hope their clients and their partners will be eligible based on their cooperation now with state and federal investigations into the conduct of the ICE agents.

    It’s not going to happen, but if the end result was these people getting visas because they helped prosecute trigger happy federal liars it would be so satisfying.















  • Making matters more complicated, a fourth candidate, Cindy Burbank, filed to run at the last minute as a Democrat when she saw that Forbes was running. She said her goal is to beat him in the primary and then drop out and support Osborn in the general election, a move that could get her disqualified if the state’s Republican government believes she isn’t running in good faith.

    This is the sort of thing you’d read in story satirizing politics. Guy enters primary fraudulently in order to receive votes from people so uninformed they don’t know who the candidates for the highest office are, woman joins to beat him with a clear statement of intentions in accordance with the goals of the party, and a politician from the opposing party will block the counter and not the actual fraudster.




  • Judaism isn’t an organized religion like the Catholic Church. Even framing it as a religion is wrong.

    There are multiple strains and even within the broad grouping of “Orthodox” Judaism there are many strains. Those rabbis you see getting arrested in NYC because they hate Zionism are Orthodox. You don’t know enough Jewish people if you think they’re all supporting or complicit in Zionism.
