Family of student deported to Honduras targeted by ICE agents

When deportation thugs grabbed Any Lucia López Belloza as she was boarding a flight to see her family in Texas, other thugs went to her family home and sought to bluff their way into it without saying why.

Whether the López family should have residency in the US is a complex question which I can't judge. I don't know all the facts, all the US laws, nor all about the asylum treaty and its interpretation. So I have no opinion about that.

However, a few things are clear. No one should ever be deported in a rush, no one should ever be deported without a careful hearing, and no one should be deported without a reasonable time to say goodbye to friends and family.

And no one should be deported based arguments that rest on fabricated facts.

Warner Bros. Discovery Should Remain Independent

*Warner Bros. Discovery Should Remain Independent to Keep Film/TV Markets .*

As this instance shows, business owners generally prefer to increase their power by reducing the number of competitors -- often through mergers.

The original purpose of antitrust law was to prevent the gradual disappearance of real competition. Since the 1980s, plutocratist US politicians (including Democrats such as Bill Clinton) have undermined antitrust enforcement, and thus permitted more and more mergers, resulting in many fields which have only two competitors, or perhaps just one.

One of the things I admired about Biden was that he firmly opposed that tendency, including by appointing Lina Khan to head the Federal Trade Commission.

College students affected by Trump's new tax bill

Magas have canceled Biden's program that allows students who took out loans, but have low income, to repay less than the face value of their loans.

That will actually make education of future students in the US more expensive.

Aside from that, there will be lower limits on how much a student can borrow. This is not necessarily a bad thing, because borrowing more than that is taking a terrible risk. We recently saw the job market for programming graduates crash because of (perhaps foolhardy) use of Imitation Intelligence. That could happen in other fields too.

Every country should fund the education of capable students. That is an investment in its future.

Uyghur brothers jailed in India without trial

Three Uyghur brothers have been jailed in India for 12 years, without a trial, for crossing the China-India border unknowingly since there was nothing to say it was a border.

The greatest danger to them is that India may expel them to China, which systematically brainwashes Uyghurs.
