NewzA video with the unsettling sights and sounds of children crying inside a car is catching widespread attention on social media. What prompted the tears, however has become a source of scrutiny and concern.The Domingo family recorded the tense moments when the U.S. Border Patrol pulled them over Sunday afternoon.Their 18-year-old daughter, who they said is a U.S.
citizen, was behind the wheel and was told by the officer she didn’t do anything wrong, but the family says the officer scanned their license plate which showed the car was registered to a non-citizen.Maria and Abraham Domingo stepped out of the car, complying with the officer’s orders.The footage captured the couple hugging their family members during an emotional goodbye when they were separated from their five children and detained.The Guatemalan Maya Center in Lake Worth Beach posted the video. Mariana Blanco is the director of operations for the nonprofit. The organization has based in South Florida for more than thirty years and passionate about advocating for families like the Domingos.“They were just making one last stop to buy some new shoes for the beginning of the school year, when they were racially profiled and detained,” she said.
“I know that they’ve been on the legal process for years. They migrated here because of the Guatemalan genocide in the 80s and they’ve been here for over 20 years. They’ve established a family here.”Blanco says emotional scenes like this one have become familiar, especially as the immigration crackdown ramps up.“There’s no real way to win,” said Blanco.
“I think it’s always the children that end up losing.” .l10-neighborhood, .l10-neighborhood * { box-sizing: border-box; } .l10-neighborhood{ --blue-dark:#0d2c73; --blue:#1f57c4; --blue-light:#3370e6; --gray-bg:#f2f3f5; --gray-border:#d6d8dc; --text-dark:#1a1a1a; --white:#ffffff; font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Arial,sans-serif; max-width:860px; margin:1.5rem auto; border-radius:10px; overflow:hidden; border:1px solid var(--gray-border); background:var(--gray-bg); box-shadow:0 4px 14px rgba(0,0,0,.12); text-align:center; } .l10-head{ background:linear-gradient(90deg,var(--blue-dark),var(--blue)); color:var(--white); padding:12px 16px; font-weight:800; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:1rem; letter-spacing:.3px; display:flex; justify-content:center; align-items:center; gap:8px; } .l10-bod… More than 50 cats have been rescued from a sailboat in Puget Sound in northwest Washington state after animal control officers discovered dozens of the animals aboard the apparently abandoned boat. Tacoma police said the rescue began during a welfare check Thursday.
They said officers removed about 30 cats from the boat but continued to hear animals moving behind panels and furniture that could not be easily removed.Animal control officers returned Monday to search below deck for additional cats. By noon, 21 more had been found.The unusual rescue also drew help from two local joggers who spotted a cat in the water Sunday morning.Ashton Efforts and his friend Jesse McConaugher were out for their weekly Sunday morning run when they saw the animal struggling in the water.“All I said was, ‘Are we going to do something about it?’ And I started stripping and jumped down,” Efforts said.The water was cold, and the cat scratched Efforts during the rescue. He said the scratches were difficult to feel because of the cold water.“It looks worse than what it is, but the water was so cold you couldn’t feel the scratches,” he said.
The cat will be alive.”The cat was taken to an animal hospital after reaching shore.Tacoma police said they do not recall responding to a similar call involving so many animals on a boat.“No, 30, 40 cats on a boat — that’s pretty unheard of,” one officer said.A local humane society will determine when, or whether, the rescued cats can be made available for adoption.Police said they know who owns the sailboat and plan to begin a criminal investigation once the rescue operation is complete. .l10-neighborhood, .l10-neighborhood * { box-sizing: border-box; } .l10-neighborhood{ --blue-dark:#0d2c73; --blue:#1f57c4; --blue-light:#3370e6; --gray-bg:#f2f3f5; --gray-border:#d6d8dc; --text-dark:#1a1a1a; --white:#ffffff; font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Arial,sans-serif; max-width:860px; margin:1.5rem auto; border-radius:10px; overflow:hidden; border:1px solid var(--gray-border); background:var(--gray-bg); box-shadow:0 4px 14px rgba(0,0,0,.12); text-align:center; } .l10-head{ background:linear-gradient(90deg,var(--blue-dark),var(--blue)); color:var(--white); padding:12px 16px; font-weight:800; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:1rem; letter-spacing:.3px; display:flex; justify-content:center; align-items:center; …
