Mother and child held in notorious Rio Grande Valley detention centre despite presenting visa, family says

A Canadian mother and her seven-year-old daughter, who has autism, have been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Texas since Saturday, family members have said.

Relatives of Tania Warner and her daughter Ayla Lucas say they were detained unlawfully. They are uncertain about what problem ICE found with their immigration paperwork.

Tania Warner and her daughter are both Canadians, with Warner originally from British Columbia. The Canadian broadcaster CTV News reported that they are being held at the notorious Rio Grande Valley Central processing centre in McAllen, Texas.

Warner, who is said to have moved to the US five years ago, lives in Kingsville, Texas, with her husband, Edward Warner, a US citizen.

Over half of the money hoarded in Canada’s private foundations should have been paid as taxes. Instead, it’s being funneled to wealthy institutions and organizations complicit in Israel’s military occupation

DoorDash launched a standalone Tasks app on March 19, paying its delivery couriers to complete short activities designed to train AI and robotic systems. Couriers can earn money by filming themselves washing dishes, photographing restaurant menus, or recording speech in foreign languages. Pay is disclosed upfront and calibrated to the effort and complexity of each assignment.

In the end, those couriers will be replaced by AI trained machines.

A very quiet queue has formed in Europe where some of Canada's long-standing, closest allies are seeking shelter under France's small but robust nuclear umbrella.

The initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron, who declared the next 50 years to be the "era of nuclear weapons," is — on paper — intended to add another layer of deterrence to NATO's American-backed security guarantees.

Once again — on paper — Russia is the adversary that needs deterring.

But with U.S. President Donald Trump once again trash-talking NATO allies over their reluctance to join his war in the Middle East and the sensational — but hardly surprising — Financial Times report that Denmark was preparing to put up a fight to defend Greenland against American annexation, a whole new dimension emerges to the French advanced nuclear deterrence strategy.

• In an internal all-hands, Google DeepMind leaders addressed staff concerns about Pentagon work.
• Leaders said there was a "robust process" to ensure the contracts align with Google's AI principles.
• At the same time, leaders said Google was pursuing more contracts in areas like cybersecurity and biosecurity.

Lee Zeldin, the agency administrator, will address a Heartland Institute forum in April. The organization says speakers will challenge the climate crisis “narrative.”

The Heartland Institute was created to meet the shared need of the fossil fuels and tobacco industries to avoid the inconvenient science pointing to the harms of their products.
