Wednesday morning, ICE conducted a raid in Los Angeles at a Home Depot where known MS-13 gang members hang out. It was pretty epic. (Yes, I got what I voted for again) It's something you see in law enforcement operations pretty regularly. Law enforcement hangs out in the back of an unmarked, nondescript vehicle, then pounces. But apparently, Penske wants you to know you can't put people in the back of the truck like that! And they're going to tell on the DHS for improper use of their trucks! Here's the statement in case they wise up and delete the...

One difficulty in dating the artifacts, however, was the copious amount of sand on the floor of the rock shelter, which can move easily and cause artifacts to fall farther down, making them look older than they are.Although the research team took steps to counteract this issue and...
