Just recognized on the Subway in NYC. The person kept pointing at me and said, "I know you...you...you're...you're" "Mehdi Hasan?" I replied. "No, no, Ali, you wrote that book GO BACK and do those interviews." Folks, I believe I might be moving up!

ICE vehicles chased a landscaping truck through Takoma Park, MD, on Monday about a mile from DC, which ended with the truck crashing on someone’s lawn, narrowly missing another car. Video shows ICE going into a backyard to find/arrest the men from the truck. Can ICE vehicles legally run a red light?
