Just FYI all home depots deploy license plate reading technology

That is probably why ICE is targeting home depot because they need to meet a quota and they know they can find people there
I hope ICE melts.
It's interesting because the person was looking for work, I thought ICE said they were going after criminals?
A dramatic story that should never have happened.
Very California hed. "The 210 Freeway" vs. I-210. The AP Style issues with that single sentence in the body are enough to make me twitchy. Setting aside that mess, the time element is in the wrong place (should be after "killed" to avoid that unpleasant "on" after what for some reason is being treated as a proper noun).
Then we have the absurdity of the state abbreviation. First of all, if it's in the same state, you don't use it at all. If for whatever reason you feel the need to in your local coverage area, postal codes are never indicated.
- That is what you chose to focus on?
  
  As a copyeditor? Yes. I read the full story, but it's a bit of a mess overall.
