8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs
25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

"ProPublica’s tally of kids harmed by tear gas or pepper spray is nearly four times the number cited in a recent congressional report that relied on news stories, yet it is likely still a vast undercount."
NEW: ProPublica identified at least 79 children who’ve been left screaming, unable to breathe, or otherwise hurt by tear gas and pepper spray during Trump’s historic immigration crackdown.
Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Has Harmed Scores of Kids With Tear Gas, Pepper Spray
In several cities, judges have chastised federal officers, saying they used excessive force. One former DHS leader called ProPublica’s findings a “bright red flag.”

Likewise, if wage theft was treated as criminally as time theft, a lot of businesses would run a lot differently. Businesses are people when it comes to counting victims but never when it comes to counting offenses.
The conversation about illegal immigration would be very different in America if the focus of federal law enforcement was on arresting and prosecuting corporate employers who hire undocumented workers.
