The operative word is “was” not is. And that this is part of a campaign to save current ultra-nationalist leader of Israel by promoting new war against Iran! Murder most foul is afoot… The Israeli government showed three reporters, including one from The Times, documents indicating that the Iranian nuclear weapons program was larger and more sophisticated than once suspected.

Dropping off the kids at school, delivering a pizza, visiting family – recent arrests have instilled fear for undocumented immigrants going about their daily lives

It was an ordinary Friday on the job for Pablo Villavicencio, a delivery man at the Nonna Delia’s pizzeria in Queens, New York.

The father of two pulled up with a bulk lunch order at Fort Hamilton, an army base about a half hour from the restaurant. But unlike previous deliveries , this time Villavicencio, an undocumented immigrant, was arrested by federal immigration authorities and taken to a New Jersey jail.
