The death of a man fleeing an immigration raid at a Home Depot sparked anger among immigrant rights advocates: 'We hold the Trump administration, the Department of Homeland Security and the Home Depot responsible,' one group said.

A man was hit and killed on the 210 Freeway on Thursday as he tried to flee federal agents raiding a Home Depot in Monrovia, CA.

    It made me wince too. But right now, the article’s headline says:

    ‘It just breaks my heart.’ Death of man fleeing immigration raid at Home Depot sparks anger, grief

    Was it different before (it says “Updated Aug. 15”), or is it heavily edited in this post?

      I went with the published hed at time of post. Maybe an editor at LAT is secretly on Beehaw?

      I really don’t have the energy to research right now, but if we’ve hit the point that a folo is being presented as a rewrite, we’re squarely in Ministry of Truth territory, which is abhorrent.

        Could be. Don’t worry anyway, we’ve been in Ministry of Truth territory since the moment news outlets started going online. I’ve checked on Archive.org, and the only snapshot is from after the update, so… yes, that’s the world we live in 🤷
