Wrongly deported migrant Abrego released from criminal custody, Fox News-affiliate reports
Kilmar Abrego, the migrant whose wrongful deportation in March to his native El Salvador made him a symbol of President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration policies, was released on Friday from criminal custody in Tennessee, a Fox News-affiliate said, citing a statement from his lawyer.

Review: Pablo Delano at Chazen Museum of Art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
The show of visceral rebellion uses force, humor, irony and deep, deep literacy to administer the artistic equivalent of a bullet between the eyeballs.
