This is a heartbreaking story, and just another example of how our immigration system is broken. As I have said, since I got into this race, we need to hold Border Patrol and ICE accountable for their brutal actions.

How Trademark Ruined Colorado-Style Pizza
You've heard of New York style, Chicago deep dish, Detroit square pans. But Colorado-style pizza? Probably not. And there's a perfectly ridiculous reason why this regional style never spread beyond a handful of restaurants in the Rocky Mountains: one guy trademarked it and scared everyone else away from making it. This story comes via a fascinating Sporkful podcast episode where reporter Paul Karolyi spent years investigating why Colorado-style pizza remains trapped in obscurity while other regional styles became national phenomena.
