The Trump administration has started quietly releasing dozens of immigrant families from a Texas detention center, according to a USA TODAY exclusive report. The detainees, from countries including Iran, Russia, China, Vietnam, Venezuela, Guatemala and Mexico, were sent to a border shelter. About 160 people, half of them minors, have been released. Over the next few weeks, 100 to 150 a day may also be released. | U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, in a Dec 4, 2019, file photo.

'Crunchy moms' and RFK Jr. |
How did a generation of progressive women find common cause with a prominent (and controversial) member of the Trump administration? The "crunchy moms" of decades past favored granola and wheatgrass, yoga and wellness culture, as well as left-leaning views on LGBTQ+ rights, abortion and religion. |
But today's "crunchy" content is more likely to feature calls to prayer, protecting arms and patriotism than to progressivism, and more likely to come from religious, right-leaning and conservative women. What changed? |
