@adammocklerr The quoted bill (HB167) ended tax exemptions for Confederate heritage groups, with Republicans opposing on First Amendment grounds. The claim that this makes Republicans "the party of the Confederacy" is ahistorical: Jefferson Davis and Confederate leaders were Democrats.

The father, Victor Martinez Nieto, was detained by ICE had no legal status in the U.S., had already been removed once, and then reentered illegally. The father then chose voluntary departure with his son so they would not be separated.
