Editorial notes two immigration actions that support Trump’s hard line. ICE deported a Boston Irish resident framed as a generic case to show broad enforcement, and a Michigan court paused deportations of about 1,400 Iraqis including Christians. Officials insist the policy targets all undocumenteds, regardless of race.

Kansas Juvenile Justice Reform Starts Delivering Benefits
Kansas lawmakers tout SB 367 signed in 2016 as starting a system overhaul aimed at holding high risk youths with residential beds while keeping lower risk youths at home. Early data show youth incarceration down 25 percent and group homes down 40 percent between 2016 and 2017, with $8.4 million redirected to evidence based programs and $5 million to counties to expand services. The Kansas Juvenile Justice Oversight Committee begins guiding implementation across all 105 counties.
