What even happens to people if they get snatched up, shipped to Texas, then released? I know that if I was to get arrested and taken to the county jail, since it’s so far away from anything if they release you and no one can pick you up they give you a taxi voucher to the city.

But what happens when people are taken THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY? They’re wearing work clothes and they only have what they had on them at work?? I don’t even think I know the phone number of anyone I could call for help, and I really only know two people who could purchase an emergency bus or a plane ticket for me.

HOW DO THESE PEOPLE GET HOME??

From the link:

“A recent update on the page says one of the people detained was taken to a Texas facility and has now been released to await a hearing in immigration court. A lawyer involved in the case did not respond to phone calls and emails from WBUR.”

@Pinchy63 @Lynnd Vote her out!
"We are deeply offended by the actions of MP Michelle Ferreri & are calling for her immediate resignation from the Standing Committee on the Status of Women.
She has proven time & time again she's an unsuitable member for this important committee.
MP Ferreri was a disastrous choice for the committee given her past disrespectful profanity laced rants on social media & ongoing misleading statements in the House of Commons" #cdnpoli #poilievre #peterborough

Okay, in 1851 the opera Rigoletto was first performed in Venice. BUT 155 years later, a Canadian film adaptation, ''Rigoletto ...in bluegrass" won Best Originality at the Bluegrass Independent Film Festival in Kentucky.

While most of the music is deliberately corny bluegrass, the Prelude and the Introduction from the original opera are performed by the Mandolin Society of Peterborough.
