Summary
When Rosmery Alvarado, 42, arrived in Kansas City on Wednesday with her husband and daughter to attend a spousal interview for her green card application, “everyone had a bad feeling.”
They had received unusual short notice for the interview and saw warning signs. 40 minutes later, Alvarado was on her way to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center.
“We didn’t get any kind of warning. They didn’t let us say goodbye.”
“My mom is not a criminal,” Carina Moran said. “She’s just my mom.” “She told us that she was scared and that she probably cried to herself throughout the whole night, that it was cold.”

www.kwch.com Judge rejects motion to dismiss lawsuits in raid on Marion County RecordThree federal civil lawsuits filed after the raid on the Marion County Record will proceed.
WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - Three federal civil lawsuits filed after the raid on the Marion County Record will proceed. This development follows a federal judge’s decision to reject efforts to fully dismiss the cases on Friday. The lawsuits were brought by Eric Meyer, publisher and editor of the Marion County Record; reporter Phyllis Zorn; and office manager Cheri Bentz.
Good to see that justice is proceeding on this. Silencing the news is not a good plan.

www.kcur.org Judge says Gardner Edgerton district ‘overreacted’ in barring mom after viral Libs of TikTok postA judge’s order allows a mother of two children in the Gardner Edgerton district to once again go to school property and events, after the district barred her for sharing photos of a classroom with a social media account known for posting inflammatory messages.
A Trumper Karen trespasses onto their kids school to take pictures of a innocuous Gay-Straight alliance flyer and post online. They were banned from the premises but now they’re allowed back because the district caved in. This same lady has caused some books to be banned in the same district.
