“Despite their efforts, the Elkton officials fight a losing battle. A losing battle for staff. A losing battle for inmates,” wrote Gwin, an appointee of President Bill Clinton. Doughty, an appointee of President Donald Trump, also sounded disinclined to second guess the decisions of the Bureau of Prisons.

Texas judge says she was forced to remove pride flag from courtroomThe rainbow flag&39;s removal followed a complaint by a local defense lawyer who compared the LGBTQ pride symbol to a swastika and the Confederate flag.
