ICE Detains 5-Year-Old Minnesota Boy Arriving Home — Here's What We Know

  A five-year-old Minnesota boy was detained by ICE agents while returning home from school, raising new questions about the scope of recent immigration enforcement actions. A heart-stopping scene unfolded in a quiet Minneapolis suburb this week, as a five-year-old boy — fresh from a day at school — was snatched by federal agents in his own driveway, leaving a stunned community demanding answers. Little Liam Ramos had just turned five. But instead of celebrating the milestone with birthday cake and bedtime stories, he was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement alongside his father, in a move critics are calling cruel and outrageous.

I Wore a Thrift-Store Dress to a Wedding – People Snickered, but Then the Groom's Mother Stood up and Left Me Speechless

  I knew some people would judge me for wearing a thrift store dress to my wedding, but I never expected my mother-in-law to stand up in the middle of the ceremony and bring the entire room to a standstill. I never imagined I'd be the kind of woman who marries into money. I'm Hannah, 28 years old, and I grew up learning how to make every dollar count.

I met Thomas in the most unglamorous way possible — at a car repair shop. My beat-up Corolla had refused to start, and he was there picking up his Tesla.

 At 17, I chose my paralyzed high school boyfriend over my wealthy parents and got disowned for it. Fifteen years later, my past showed up in my kitchen and tore our "against all odds" love story apart. I met my husband in high school. He was my first love. Then, a week before Christmas, things became chaos. Not fireworks. Not grand gestures. Just this quiet, steady feeling. Like home. We were seniors. We were very much in love and we thought we were untouchable. We also thought the future would be full of wonderful opportunities and we had no idea how tough things could get. His mom was screaming on the phone. Then, a week before Christmas, things became chaos. He was driving to his grandparents' house on a snowy night. Or that's what I believed for 15 years. The call came while I was on my bedroom floor, wrapping presents. His mom was screaming on the phone. I caught a few words. "I'm not leaving." "Accident." "Truck." "He can...
