The Baltimore County union representing over 9,000 teachers approved a motion to instate work-to-rule, walk-ins and walkouts during its ongoing compensation negotiations with the school district.

The Teachers Association of Baltimore County announced in a news release Thursday that its school representatives approved the labor actions intended to show solidarity the day before. TABCO held rallies throughout the county Tuesday in support of its three-year negotiated compensation agreement with Baltimore County Public Schools.

Charles “Charley” J. Scalies Jr., best known for his role as Thomas “Horseface” Pakusa on HBO’s “The Wire,” died Thursday after battling Alzheimer’s disease. Scalies, 84, was a sales executive at a precision manufacturing firm and had his own consulting business before his roles in “The Wire,” “The Sopranos” and Baltimore native Barry Levinson’s “Liberty Heights,” according to the obituary posted by Moore, Snear & Ruggiero Funeral Home. Horseface is a union cargo checker in the second season of “The Wire,” which centers on Baltimore’s ports. For the role, Philadelphia-native Scalies channeled the blue-collar men he grew up around, like those in his father’s pool hall, he told the magazine. Read more: https://t.co/8wl5IowJtX

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.

I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

[Dan Belson @DanBelson_]

District Judge Paula Xinis had questions for Trump admin lawyers about the status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a day after SCOTUS upheld her order for his return.

•Where is he?
•What has the U.S. done to return him?
•What will they do?

The government did not have answers.

President Donald Trump said Friday that he doesn’t want the new FBI headquarters to be built in Maryland but rather in the nation’s capital. Trump said he prefers Washington for the headquarters promised to 61 acres in Greenbelt in 2023. “The FBI and the DOJ have to be near each other,” he said, supporting a plan for the Washington location.
