Want an example of what ICE's effect is on the communities they target? Here's a message I got from someone when I asked their dad knew about supposed operations: "I don’t think he’d be interested in speaking with a reporter. Non-white folks are laying low these days."
WV has the 4th highest child poverty rate in the country. What would it cost to lift all of WV's children out of poverty?... wvpolicy.org/how-much-would…

Dear @POTUS: Your weird belief that windmills somehow cause cancer is concerning. Here's a memo on things that do and don't cause cancer. We've been told you prefer one-page memos with pictures. Hope this is helpful.

WV’s connection to the NZ attacks aren’t that far flung: Anti-Muslim displays at our state Capitol made headlines in recent weeks. We should remind ourselves that those despicable sentiments can and do manifest themselves into horrific acts of violence.

Oh my god. West Virginia lawmakers have sided with @DowChemical and agreed NOT to implement stricter water standards recommended by the Department of Environmental Protection. Why? LOOK AT THIS REASONING. bdtonline.com/news/w-va-hous…

Every session starts with a prayer. Although I am Jewish, I stand and bow my head out of respect for others’ beliefs. Delegate Eric Porterfield refused to show that same respect. That may be his right..but he is WRONG #WVGOPorterfield
At the beginning of the prayer today in the @wvhouse (which was delivered by local leaders of Jewish, Muslim and Christian faiths) Del. Eric Porterfield sat down.

@davidfrum @NatashaBertrand PS-It's great to see present and former Atlantic staff moving the needle--on the off chance you and Natasha are collaborating. It speaks well of you. Absent discernible progress in Congress and given Pentagon stonewalling, we need all the determined journalism we can get. Thanks.
For anyone who has gotten a hold of me or asked otherwise about WVPM 90.9 -- we've been on and off the air for a week or so. Engineers are working on it. Trust me, I want it back as soon as possible, too. I may work for @wvpublic, but I rely on it like you do.
That said, the fear such activity causes is very real.
This is pretty much the response I have gotten from everyone I have contacted about these operations -- anyone who has a connection with someone possibly targeted or anyone who has said they had first-hand witness account.
To anyone sharing reports of ICE operations in West Virginia last week: We don't know where this activity took place, an exact number of arrests or any additional details. We do know there were 15 bookings at regional jails last week on ICE-related charges. That's it.
I should also note that ICE has asked me to provide names and birthdates of those I am seeking information on. I'm asking for arrest reports for those 15 people. Thanks to the inmate search function of West Virginia Regional Jails website, I have that info.
Dayton & El Paso tragedies underscore the need to: -ban semiautomatic weapons & high-capacity ammunition magazines; -end hate speech that incites violence; -return moral, honest, & competent leadership to the Oval Office. We live in 21st century America; let’s act like it.
@davemistich @SenCapito So, basically, still nixing background checks. Maybe they could open up the psychiatric hospitals again. If we eliminate each supposed factor, one by one, we'll still be left with too many guns.

My 4 yo daughter and I were discussing the future in the car today. She said “mommy, I’m going to be president someday and everyone will vote for me and I’ll make everything right.” I said that I believed that. Then she said “and I can bite the head off a wolf.” So..
