Nashville Noticias Reporter, Estefany Rodríguez, has been taken into ICE custody. If you're not familiar, Nashville Noticias does Spanish language social media broadcasts.

According to the news organization, Rodríguez was with her husband when the vehicle they were traveling in, marked with the Nashville Noticias logo, was surrounded by several other vehicles. "Several men got out and demanded that our colleague be taken into custody for reasons that the legal team will specify at a later date," the outlet says in a release.

Rodríguez was taken to a detention center. She holds a degree in journalism from Colombia, her native country, where she has worked for several years at various news outlets. She joined the
Nashville Noticias team in 2022, covering social, family, health, police, and immigration issues.

According to the Nashville Scene, "Rodríguez, who was in her car with her husband — a U.S. citizen — has been following all the legal steps to citizenship. In her job, Rodríguez has reported several stories holding ICE accountable, and it’s unclear whether her detention was retaliation. As of Thursday afternoon, she was in Alabama en route to an ICE processing center in Louisiana.
A citizen of Colombia, Rodríguez originally entered the country lawfully on a tourist visa in March 2021, then applied for political asylum. According to Joel Coxander, her immigration attorney, Rodríguez was forced to flee Colombia and seek asylum because of her work as a journalist. She covered armed and militant groups and had received threats, which Coxander has seen in the form of a text message. She also filed at least one police report before coming to the U.S. For the journalists’ safety, Coxander said, a lot of the publication’s articles have been scrubbed from existence."

"Nashville Noticias LLC expresses its respect for the laws of the United States and hopes that this situation will be resolved favorably for our colleague so that she can be released soon, as she needs to reunite with her young daughter and husband to continue her legal process within the framework permitted by law. Her legal team at MIRA Legal, as well as the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Coalition (TIRRC), are providing legal representation in the case and will have details on the progress and responses from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the
Tennessee Federal Court," according to a release from Nashville Noticias.

Donald Trump is not forever.

There will be an after. It’s hard to see from the present, where everything feels frozen in place. But from history’s vantage, change is the only constant. American democracy has been remade several times — dramatically, unexpectedly, and often in ways that looked impossible until they arrived.

The question is not whether reform is coming. It’s what kind of reform.

Political systems, like humans, are change-averse. Most of the time, the status quo prevails. After all, those in power have the most to lose from any new alternative. They know the current rules. They’ve mastered them. The old rules put them in power. Why would they want new ones?

The outsiders are always the ones who demand change. But outsider energy alone rarely succeeds. Reform movements break through when ambitious insiders start to see that the climate is changing and decide to grow new lungs before the old ones become useless.

It’s pretty much impossible to live a life free of environmental harm. The cleanest energy relies on mining. Critical medical supplies produce plastic waste. Even organic foods are typically grown with pesticides.

But there is one thing you could do immediately that would help the planet a heck of a lot: eat less beef.

While for most omnivores, beef is hard to give up, the data is incredibly clear and incredibly compelling: Of all the foods we produce on Earth, beef is the No. 1 destroyer of forests, and especially rainforests. Raising cattle for meat not only endangers wildlife but fuels climate change — in a big way.

Last week, the US Department of Agriculture proposed a strikingly cruel policy, even for this administration: speeding up the kill lines at America’s chicken, turkey, and pig slaughterhouses. The plan will make one of the country’s most dangerous jobs — working in a meat processing plant — even more unsafe, labor advocates argue.

Under the proposal, most slaughterhouses could move even faster than they already do. Chicken slaughterhouses would be able to increase kill line speeds from 140 birds per minute to 175, and turkeys would go from 55 to 60. Pig slaughterhouses currently have a maximum line speed limit of 1,106 pigs per hour, but under the new rule, there will be no speed limit. The USDA has also proposed ending the requirement for these facilities to publish annual reports on worker safety.

If finalized, these rules would apply to the vast majority of animals slaughtered in the US and would affect nearly half a million workers, many of them immigrants. Advocates warn this will raise injury rates in an industry that already ranks among the most dangerous, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The link to the story is in the comments below.
