ICE has abducted Senegalese WBB player Aminata Seck and won't release her. DHS 'policy' is to provide medical care to prisoners at intake, yet they admit to denying her care for an ACL injury for 1.5 months. The NCAA is letting it happen, despite its predatory recruitment of ICAs. We explain.

theguardian.comICE has abducted a college athlete. What are the NCAA and universities going to do about it?Aminata Seck’s detention shows the bargain facing international college athletes: universities eagerly recruit them, but support can disappear when their immigration status becomes precarious.

and finally, cheyenne, doc about women returning to the bronco riding rodeo circuit after a century — striking cinematography, almost a sociological feature, incredibly tough athletes, equal weight and care to the competition as discrimination/violence against women, sprawling and still precise
