  1. Weeks after a farmworker died from injuries sustained during a chaotic immigration raid at a CA cannabis farm, today a man fleeing an ICE raid at a Home Depot was struck and killed by a car on the freeway, also in CA.

    A man fleeing on foot from an immigration raid at a Monrovia Home Depot ran onto the 210 Freeway, where he struck by a vehicle, officials said.

    Quote from a story on changes at the U of Chicago that notes they are "pausing" doctoral eduction in Classics, Comp Lit, Germanic studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Romance languages and literatures, and South Asian Studies.
