WASHINGTON, D.C. – Policy, not law, has torn more than 2,300 children from their parents along the U.S.-Mexico border. Although immigration reform has been a heated topic for decades, the policy of zero tolerance began with a Department of Justice memo to “supersede any existing policies.”
The memo, signed by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions on April 6, has resulted in the illegal incarceration of migrant children, according to a Senate hearing targeting Lee Francis Cissna, the…

FARGO – He paced back and forth, arms crossed, fists clenched, at times stopping to peer out a 19th century window to the construction site below. An electric fan sucked warm, outside air providing short respite, if within arm’s reach.
Four steps right. Four steps left. His apartment is slightly larger than the federal prison barracks Nathan William Evenson was released from in February 2018, but at least the North Fargo place is his, and he is out from behind bars. The apartment is…

When dog trainer Abby Cline enters a rescue shelter she doesn’t just see lovable strays, she sees potential.
“We look for dogs who have toy drive, they don’t care about people or other dogs,” Cline said. “They care mostly about a toy that is available to them. When you do this for long enough, most rescues know you and know what you’re looking for so they’ll contact you when they have a dog that’s frickin’ bananas for toys.”
Cline has worked with Stunt Dog productions…

TOKYO, JAPAN – When law enforcement took over the camps outside of Standing Rock in February 2017, many activists promised the fight was not over.

The pipeline’s parent company, Energy Transfer Partners, fast tracked permits to run the 1,172-mile pipeline on land that once belonged to the Standing Rock Sioux Nation…
