In Chesterfield today, ICE agents are operating more covertly than yesterday, positioning themselves in the clerks offices in the general district courtrooms. I watched a man named Salvador Calderon enter to pay a fine for running a stoplight. He hasn’t come out ~2 hours later

Such a newsy day. Audit released on Richmond's city-owned credit card spending. ICE agents make arrests in Chesterfield. A VCU legend's son dies. And of course, a capybara at the zoo trying to beat the heat. Great work from my colleagues.
