Farmer from Nebraska in emergency camp for migratory workers during pea harvesting says "I put mine in what I thought was the best investment -- the good old earth--but we lost on that, too. The finance company caught up with us, the mortgage company caught up with us. Managed to lose twelve thousand dollars in three years. My boys have no more future than I have so far as I can see ahead." He had been on the road a little less than a year. Calipatria, Imperial County, California

Accepted applicant for resettlement on the Hightstown project. Jewish-American. This man is already employed on the project as carpenter, working on the nearly completed first unit of thirty-five houses. He says, "Will we succeed?

![The image is a black and white photograph of an older man with curly hair wearing glasses. He has antlers attached to his head, which suggests he might be in costume or participating in some sort of playful activity or celebration. The man appears somewhat disheveled, as if he may have been caught off guard while engaged in work.
He is sitting on a windowsill and holding what looks like a tool in his right hand, possibly indicating that he works with tools regularly. He wears an apron over casual clothing which could suggest manual labor or craftsmanship of some sort. His expression seems to convey concern or worry as if something important has come up. A button badge is attached on the front of his apron displaying what appears to be a number "296" and text that reads 'Jewish Community Service'. This suggests he may have been part of an organized group during this time.
The window behind him shows trees outside, indicating it might be daytime in a residential area. The photo has some visible defects such as scratches on the glass which could mean age or wear from handling over time.

#DemocracyNow: “Detained Without Evidence”: Maryland Father Remains in #ElSalvador Prison After #SCOTUS Ruling
Story April 08, 2025
"The Supreme Court has paused a lower court order that instructed the Trump administration to immediately bring back a U.S. #LegalResident who was 'mistakenly' sent to #ElSalvador, giving the court more time to deliberate on the case. #KilmarAbregoGarcia, who was expelled from the U.S. on March 15 despite holding protected status, will continue to languish under dangerous conditions in a Salvadoran maximum-security prison. The Trump administration claims it’s powerless to bring him back to his family in Maryland.
"'They have dug in their heels at every step of the way,' says Abrego Garcia’s lawyer, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, about the government’s defense. 'It’s ridiculous that this case is at the Supreme Court at all.'
"Behind Abrego Garcia’s ICE arrest and removal is Trump’s invocation of the #1798AlienEnemiesAct, a wartime authority last deployed during #WorldWarII. In a separate ruling, the Supreme Court has approved of the Trump administration’s removals of #Venezuelan #immigrants, but said that those targeted must be given an opportunity to challenge their removal. So far, immigrants expelled to El Salvador have been largely denied their legal rights and detained without clear evidence.
"They are then incarcerated in the country’s '#MegaPrisons,' where [#HumanRights] abuses have flourished under El Salvador’s 'state of exception.' 'These conditions constitute, under international law, #ForcedDisappearances,' says Noah Bullock, executive director of Cristosal, a human rights organization in @CentralAmerica."

Barn in a valley back of Mission San Jose. Santa Clara County, California

![The image depicts an old barn situated in a rural setting with rolling hills and sparse vegetation in the background. The structure appears to be made of wood, featuring weathered planks and visible nails. A tin roof tops off the building, showing some signs of rust or decay. To the left side of the barn stands a solitary tree with full foliage, contrasting against the otherwise barren landscape.
In front of the barn lies an area covered in dirt, with scattered rocks and what looks like a pile of debris on the right-hand side near the corner entrance to one section of the building. A small wooden post is also visible on this patch of ground. The overall scene conveys a sense of abandonment or disuse.
The black-and-white nature of the photograph suggests that it may have been taken during an earlier time period, possibly in the late 19th or early 20th century when such structures were more common in agricultural areas like Santa Clara County, California. The image captures not only a physical structure but also hints at stories and histories associated with rural life during those times.
The photograph is credited to Dorothea Lange (1895-1965), an American photographer known for her work documenting the social conditions of various communities in America. She was active primarily from 1930s through World War II, capturing images that highlighted themes such as poverty and displacement amidst economic hardship.
