In February 2015, a Georgia prison inmate mailed a handwritten complaint to the federal court in Macon, saying he’d been held in a windowless cell for nearly 24 hours a day for five years.

He lost contact with loved ones, dropped 50 pounds and

The Atlanta Immigration Court granted 21 Savage a release on bond Tuesday, according to his lawyers.

The bond will be posted Wednesday. Lawyers Charles H. Kuck, Dina LaPolt and Alex Spiro spoke with ICE to “both clarify [21 Savage’s] actual legal standing, his eligibility for bond, and pr

The bill also includes teaching about people with disabilities and their historical roles, NBC News reported. “The Governor believes that ensuri
