"Tribes and environmental groups argue the plans will make way for destruction of sensitive cultural areas and vital natural landscapes. They worry Thursday’s decision to open public access to the lands will allow for increased road development and off-road-vehicle use that will affect artifacts and ecosystems, while grazing and logging will alter the habitats of many important species."

"It’s fair to say that Buttigieg, a Harvard-educated, multi-lingual war veteran in a faithful, monogamous relationship, might not be a great role model for children – given he has never exhibited the presidential behaviours of bragging about sexually assaulting women, having affairs with porn stars, mocking people with disabilites, or lying about having bone spurs to get out of military service."

"Authorities in sanctuary jurisdictions such as New York, Washington state and California say their law enforcement agents will detain an individual on ICE’s behalf only if the agency presents a warrant signed by a judge. Officials in those jurisdictions also have countered Trump’s claims that the policies endanger the public, noting that existing research has demonstrated no link between illegal immigration and crime, and arguing that community trust in law enforcement is more valuable to public safety than cooperation with ICE."
