   "Emily [...] says she followed an ICE vehicle at a safe distance into a parking lot. “then someone leaned out of the passenger side of that SUV and took a picture of me and my car,” [...] the SUV made a sudden U-turn and barreled towards her, braking next to her driver's side window. A female agent wearing a gaiter-style mask [...] addressed Emily by name [...] ‘Emily, Emily, we're going to take you home!’ Then she looked at her phone and she recited my home address,”

     @timnitGebru The article has a Dec. 31, 1969 age date?

     @timnitGebru Their posting is messed up. The article is current, not from 1969. Weird.

     Likely means that the article was not given a publish date. The Unix epoch begins Jan 1, 1970, so if the web server can't find a date or finds an invalid date, it might show Dec 31, 1969.
