PLYMOUTH, MA — The Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office said Friday it will terminate the 287(g) agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement which allows law enforcement officers to act as immigration agents.

Participants planned to call for the release of those in detention, and an end to Trump-era immigration enforcement practices in Plymouth county, but due to a rain delay, moved the protest to Sept. 23.

Friday, September 10, 2021

In an attempt to contain the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, President Biden issued two Executive Orders on September 9, 2021 that mandate COVID-19 vaccines for federal government employees and employees of federal government contractors.

Bizar Male 2 weeks ago

In the past week, media outlets throughout the Bay Area and around the country reported that San Francisco plans to give people $300 per month not to shoot each other.
