ICE beat 63 year old man over the head—rushed to hospital in serious condition.
Now his family has no idea where he is.
Agents won't tell wife anything about his health condition—or even give his location.
"I feel helpless," wife cries.
"Because they won't let me see him."
Pedro Mendoza Chávez was at his gardening job when ICE detained the group he was with.
Agents claim the 63 year old man was resisting arrest.
He has lived in the U.S. more than 22 years—and has 3 minor children with his wife Ruvelina Vega.
Incident occurred in the Fresno and I-10 area of San Antonio, Texas.

This angle gets me, where he’s just kind of standing there soaking it in, then sees his daughter and smiles, then instantly melts into tears … whew. Hell of a run, 35.
ICE ARE THE ILLEGALS.
https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY is trained in immigration and constitutional law. It’s free to immigrants and citizens and can help them prepare for illegal ICE encounters. It’s funded entirely by donations: https://t.co/Hi5Yo2N2N2
ICE stopping a car without reasonable suspicion: illegal.
Compelling a U.S. citizen to produce ID: illegal.
Arresting that citizen solely for not producing that ID: illegal.
ICE’S IMMIGRATION AUTHORITY IS NOT A BLANK CHECK TO STOP PEOPLE AND DEMAND THEIR PAPERS.
Justin Verlander's ending was one for the ages. Had to add the moneyball music, because how in the heck can you not be romantic about baseball after something like that?
This is President Xi Jinping's story with the American people during his homestay in Iowa in 1985 🇨🇳
He led a delegation to Muscatine, Iowa, to study agriculture. A local family hosted him; they have been friends since then 🇺🇸
During his official visit to the US in 2012, he even made a detour to Muscatine to meet his old friends. That house has been named Sino-US Friendship House 🙌
The power of people-to-people connection ♥️
Decades ago, this family hosted young Chinese guests, not knowing that forty years later, one of the visitors would become the leader of a great nation 🤝
Pope Leo XIV at UNESCO asks “what does it mean to be human?”
Watch and listen to the Pope’s magnificent reflection:
“What does it mean to be human? Every culture is challenged by this question, which lies at the heart of every form of knowledge, every art and every religion. Even in the twenty-first century, after all, we cannot take for granted that we know who the human person is or what it means to live as a human being. Indeed, every generation is called to grapple with this question, especially in the face of tragedies that, regrettably, occur even today.
Before all else, the human person is someone who is conceived and born. Thus, first of all, to be human means to be a child. None of us chose to be so. None of us decided from whom, when or where to be born. This evident truth sheds light on something that is not merely biological but ethical: as children, we are all brothers and sisters. From the outset, our humanity is a gift and a trial, a promise and a responsibility. For every human being, birth establishes a primordial bond — a communion of life that has its source, and its first educational setting, in the family.
Secondly, we are all born naked and in need. We are poor by birth, in need of bread and words, of care and affection — that is, of all that nourishes body and spirit. We know this well, and yet, as we become adults, we risk forgetting it. It is precisely those in need who suffer the greatest consequences of this forgetfulness, whenever their humanity is betrayed or cast aside, exploited or deceived. Forgetting the circumstances of our birth obscures the very idea of human life, because it detaches life from the history common to us all. Thus, life is no longer understood as a gift, but as a commodity. It is no longer viewed as a summons to care and responsibility, but as a product to be exploited. Indeed, this tragic alternative reminds us that to be human is to be free by nature. Since all of us have been children, our freedom begins with our response to the freedom of the one who first turns to us — whether with gestures of affection or rejection, of loving welcome or neglect and cruelty.
Thirdly, to keep alive the memory of our common humanity is to recognize its grandeur — that is, its immense potential — even though it is diminished by many forms of evil and injustice. Those engaged in the fields of education, science and culture are called all the more to care for every person, so that the beauty of our freedom may shine forth. This beauty has a name: justice. Freedom is indeed beautiful when it is oriented toward goodness and truth; it is disfigured when it descends into arbitrariness, violence or the thirst for power. To be human, then, implies a responsibility before history: the human being is one who grows, learns and works with both hands and mind. By that labor, we may cultivate the earth or disfigure it, create works of art or destroy them. At this particular juncture, we must recognize that the most terrible of “human works” is war, for then science itself is placed at the service of an inhumane will to destroy and to kill.”
26 septembre 1969, publication officielle de l'un des albums les plus légendaires de l'histoire de la musique.
Tout a déjà été écrit sur cet album mais, finalement, ce ne sera jamais assez. Le meilleur de George, du grand John, ce medley mythique porté par Paul et cette batterie de Ringo tellement parfaitement adaptée.
Tout est devenu légendaire dans cet album, de son histoire jusqu'à sa pochette.
Quatre mecs qui ne font que traverser la rue en sortant de leur studio ont créé la pochette de disque la plus célébre du monde. Ça donne une idée de la puissance de la musique et de la légende de ce groupe.
Abbey Road était une rue inconnue d'un quartier bourgeoisie et ennuyeux de Londres. C'est désormais un lieu de culte. Si vous passez par là, vous pouvez bien entendu traverser cette rue comme l'ont fait des millions de touristes. Mais il y a mieux à faire. Très tard le soir ou très tôt le matin, installez-vous sur le banc à l'angle de Grove End Road et d'Abbey Road. Mettez vos écouteurs et écoutez cet album. Vous y êtes. Vous êtes seul avec John, Paul, George et Ringo.
"You Never Give Me Your Money", The Beatles, 1969.
NUEVA CANALLADA CONTRA @RuffoAppel. Lo están trasladando a su casa en Ensenada, pero ¡por tierra! Aún con situación de salud vulnerable y su reciente operación de cadera lo van a torturar casi tres mil kilómetros durante tres días llevándolo por carretera. 😡🤬😡
