County coroner’s error leads to California family burying the wrong man

“A woman at the coroner’s office said — apparently incorrectly — that identification had been made through fingerprints. Another family member who talked to the coroner’s office said a woman told her Kerrigan also had been found with his identification, according to the lawsuit. Last May, Kerrigan’s family buried a man. Eleven days later, Kerrigan turned up at a family friend’s house. The friend called Kerrigan’s family to tell them he was alive. The man the Kerrigan family had buried turned out to be a Kansas native named John Dickens, who had to be exhumed before he was cremated and sent to his mother in Kansas.”

Kansas rallies behind teacher facing deportation after 30+ years

“Mr Jamal, a 55-year-old Bangladeshi-born chemistry professor, was arrested on his front lawn nearly two weeks ago by immigration officials as he stepped out to drop his daughter to school in Lawrence, Kansas.  His wife and other two children rushed out but even before they could say goodbye, he was led away in handcuffs.  He has been moved from a detention centre in Missouri to a facility near El Paso, Texas, close to the border. All three of Mr Jamal’s children – seven, 12 and 14 – are US citizens and his wife has a medical condition that limits her mobility, making him the sole provider for the family.”

The ongoing criminalization of poverty

“43 states and the District of Columbia suspend driver’s licenses because of unpaid debt. Only four states require a determination of the person’s ability to pay. Some, such as Virginia, make the suspensions mandatory, while others, including the District and Maryland, allow for discretion, albeit automated systems make its use rare. Virtually all states that suspend licenses for unpaid debt do so indefinitely, with rules that prevent reinstatement until full payment is made.”
