According to a union complaint seen by the Guardian, the decision resulted in a boy who looks after ferrets witnessing an “inappropriate and potentially distressing” savaging of a screaming rat. Another complaint suggests the gored rodent was then “stomped to death” by a senior staff member in front of prison officers. The incident once again highlights the vermin-ridden conditions in which children and adults are detained within the prison estate across England and Wales.

In a statement, CAIR National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell told me that “Muhammad Ali was a devout Muslim. Suggesting otherwise distorts both his personal faith journey and the historical record.” Referring to Ali’s transition from the Nation of Islam to Sunni Islam, Mitchell said that Ali “lived the rest of his life contributing to causes of justice and peace, motivated by his faith.” Mitchell also called on Freedom 250 to fix its false Ali display. “Any exhibit honoring his life should accurately reflect his unwavering commitment to Islam. We call on the Freedom 250 Mobile Museum to correct the record.” The lie about Ali has already been seen by untold thousands of people. The trucks are set to continue their tours at least through the end of this year.
MUHAMMAD ALI Born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. on January 17, 1942, Muhammad Ali was a boxing titan and cultural icon, known as "The Greatest." Raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Ali started boxing at age twelve after his bike was stolen. As an amateur boxer, Ali won several Golden Gloves titles, two Amateur Athletic Union national titles, and the heavyweight gold medal in the 1960 Olympics. Four years later, in 1964, he became the world heavyweight champion by defeating Sonny Liston. His boxing style is described in his own words as "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." After converting to Islam, he changed his name to Muhammad Ali though he later disavowed the religion. He refused to fight in Vietnam due to religious objections, and he won his case at the Supreme Court. Ali was also deeply involved in philanthropy and humanitarian efforts until his death in 2016.

“Concerns about water are real, concerns about power needs are real, and who’s going to pay for it,” said Todd Staples, president of the Texas Oil and Gas Association. “We’re getting some real kickback right now. The business community really needs to step up and be a part of that conversation.”
While Burgum’s speech focused on domestic energy production, he also defended the Trump administration’s war in Iran and the “detour” it has taken. He said Iran’s government is a terrorist group that has led a “tyrannical reign” over its own citizens for decades, and the United States is the only country capable of taking action. “It’s a gift to the world,” Burgum said.

Judges find widespread noncompliance The Trump administration violations in the 31 lawsuits are in addition to more than 250 instances of noncompliance judges have recently highlighted in individual immigration petitions — from failing to return property to keeping immigrants locked up past court-ordered release dates. Legal scholars and former federal judges said they could recall at most a few violations of court rulings over the full four-year terms of other recent presidential administrations, including Trump’s first time in office. They also noted previous administrations were generally apologetic when confronted by judges; the Trump administration’s Justice Department has been outright combative in some cases.

"We scrubbed the surface of the existing granite that's been there since 1922. We then grouted all of the granite, fixed it up," Trump said in the video. "It took about two weeks, and now we have a nice, clean surface on which we're putting an industrial grade swimming pool topping."
