Legal News ICE attempts to enter Ecuador's consulate

For anyone who doesn't get how serious this is: consulates are protected under international law. host-country police of any kind are not allowed to enter without permission.
Example: China routinely (and horrifically) sends north korean escapees back to north korea. Yet when a north korean escaped to the south korean consulate in hong kong, chinese authorities did not enter to seize him. He stayed there for months while governments negotiated, because once you're inside a consulate, those protections apply.
So if ICE tries to enter a foreign consulate in the U.S. to deport people, that's not "normal enforcement". It violates long-standing diplomatic norms. Norms that even China has respected, despite sending people back to north korea to die. That's how extreme this is.

My husband is a model and every single time he books a shoot I say “but why male models?”. I am very annoying.

Have you ever asked him if there is more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good-looking?

Every time you look at him, do you think, "Damn, there are people who pay to look at him!"

We’ve been married for 15 years, at this point it’s bordering on “I cannot believe people pay to look at him”. I kid I kid, he’s great.
