Trump just decided ICE has been too nice

To many progressives, ICE — Immigration and Customs Enforcement — is synonymous with President Donald Trump’s brutal and cruel immigration regime. But to hardliners in the Trump administration bent on carrying out mass deportation, ICE has actually been something of a disappointment.  So they’re increasingly turning to another agency that they view as willing to [

This proposal revises previous "unnecessary" requirements on the grounds that a fact-based list of charges "may confuse customers." These changes would minimize the benefit of the so-called "nutrition labels" which are otherwise known as Broadband Facts labels. You've... Read more â€ș

Most enterprise data lives in databases fed by extract-transform-load (ETL) jobs that run hourly or daily — ultimately too slow for agents that must respond in real time.One potential way to tackle that challenge is to have agents directly interface with...
