The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

aclum.org - Aclu state...

The Department of Homeland Security today announced it will cut all ties with the Bristol County Sheriff’s Office in Massachusetts, including ending a contract to house immigration detainees there and ending a so-called “287(g)” contract.

Oops. Housing illegals might come in handy now, wouldn’t it?

...Why alter the 287(g) program? ‘Because it empowers racist sheriffs’ according to the ACLU


Well, not 'just' the ACLU but also, as your own link details, the Massachusetts Attorney General's office which investigated Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson's mistreatment of detainees and found Hodgson’s office “violated the rights of detainees by using excessive force and by seriously risking their health and safety.”

Also the NAACP New Bedford and Bristol County for Correctional Justice, again as your own link shows.

And the last time I checked, Bristol County bordered Rhode Island, not Mexico, but Hodgson sure loved to travel to the southern border for photo-ops at the drop of a hat.

He lost his bid for reelection in 2022.

BTW, Townhall is still a worthless rag: Media Bias Fact Check rates Townhall Right Biased and Questionable based on consistent one-sided reporting that always favors the right and numerous failed fact checks.
