Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

An immigrant’s death at an Oklahoma poultry plant highlights dangerous conditions for workers Current and former employees describe a punishing pace of work and questionable safety standards at a Heavener plant where recent immigrants fill a constant need for laborers.

He fell into the blades of an auger at a poultry plant and died. He was a father, an immigrant, and a contract worker on the night shift.
His name was Leovigildo RamΓ­rez Castillo β€” and his story should shock us all.

Screenshot of article excerpt: The Education Department also was concerned about other words in the application, said Adrian Klenz, who works with deafblind adults in the state. He said he has talked with state officials about the discontinuation of the grant.

β€œI was told that apparently the administration is going through past grants and two words were flagged: One was transition and one was privilege,” Klenz said. β€œTransition β€” transitioning from childhood to adulthood. Privilege came up because a parent wrote a glowing review of staff that said what a privilege it was to work with them.” ProPublica obtained a copy of the grant application and confirmed that those words were included.
