“Armed vigilantes unlawfully detaining migrants” near U.S.-Mexico border, ACLU says
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Mexico says "armed vigilantes" are detaining migrants near the U.S.-Mexico border and is calling on officials to launch a probe into the group it calls a "fascist militia." "[W]e cannot allow racist and armed vigilantes to kidnap and detain people seeking asylum," the ACLU said in a letter sent to the New Mexico governor and attorney general. The organization said the group that calls itself the United Constitutional Patriots detained nearly 300 people on Tuesday near Sunland Park, New Mexico, who were seeking safety in the United States. A live video shared early Tuesday on the group's Facebook page shows a large group of people, including children, sitting and kneeling on the ground. A voice of the woman apparently taking the video says, "I don't know if we got 'em all. But this is crazy. I don't know what to say about this other than the fact it's gotta stop."Other videos appear to show the group's activities … [Read more...] about “Armed vigilantes unlawfully detaining migrants” near U.S.-Mexico border, ACLU says

12-foot, 1,600-lb great white shark being tracked in Gulf of Mexico
A 12-foot-long, 1,600-pound great white shark has been located in the Gulf of Mexico and researchers are tracking its movements in order to better understand the species. According to the non-profit research group OCEARCH, the great white, affectionately nicknamed Miss Costa, was first found swimming in waters off the Florida Panhandle in March and has been moving north ever since. Named after OCEARCH's partner Costa Sunglasses, Miss Costa was first spotted in 2016, swimming near Nantucket, Massachusetts. At the time, she was 12-foot, 5 inches long, but is now estimated to be as long as 14 or 15 feet. Miss Costa is only the third large-sized female great white to be tracked by OCEARCH in the Gulf of Mexico. Researchers are studying Miss Costa and other sharks in order to test a hypothesis regarding the migration patterns of adult female great whites in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico.The non-profit research firm has it's own Twitter page with 104,000 … [Read more...] about 12-foot, 1,600-lb great white shark being tracked in Gulf of Mexico
