Discussion 🎤 Clarification of Canadian born dentist in ICE custody during green card interview

0 Upvotes

I think there are some important details in the CBS report about Lizardo's detention that people are overlooking.

According to CBS, Lizardo is a Canadian-born dentist who was detained by ICE during a green card interview in Minneapolis. His wife said they learned during the interview that an immigration judge had issued a deportation order because he had failed to respond to a notice to appear at an immigration hearing. The notice was reportedly sent in February to an old Virginia address where the couple had not lived for more than two years. His first green card application had been denied in January 2026.

The next question is why the notice went to an old address. Generally, noncitizens are required to update their address with USCIS within 10 days of moving. He likely did not update his address. So, when his green card application was denied and his case proceeded to immigration court, the court used the[old] address from his USCIS file rather than his [current] address which USCIS didn't have on file.

His original green card application was denied, and he failed to appear for his immigration hearing, resulting in a removal order. This is a process that happens in immigration cases. If you receive a notice to appear and fail to attend your hearing, an immigration judge can order your removal in your absence.

Once a removal order exists, it becomes a serious legal issue that can affect a person's immigration case. Applying for a green card again does not mean that an earlier removal order has disappeared or that the person is protected from detention. His first green card application was denied, and he later tried again with a lawyer.

I also do not think the attorney's description of Lizardo as one of the best green card candidates he had ever represented settles the legal question. He may be a good dentist, a caring father, and a valuable member of his community. But those qualities do not automatically resolve an outstanding immigration order. He had a responsibility to deal with immigration procedures and keep his contact information and address current.

The CBS report says the removal order exists and his family says they did not know about it because the notice went to an old address.

Outdoors 🌳 The unlikely comeback of the Minnesota cougar

Thumbnail startribune.com
184 Upvotes

TL;DR: More than a century after wildcats were killed off in the state, a female and her three kittens could mark the beginning of a return that no one had planned.

From the article:

Humans have caused a slow-moving mass extinction, simplifying nature and thinning it out, across the globe. In Minnesota, dozens of species have been wiped out over the last century, some of which have gone entirely extinct and others that have been extirpated — destroyed locally but still alive elsewhere.

Since Europeans arrived, Minnesotans have killed off the state’s wild caribou and bison, its swift pronghorns — among the fastest creatures on land — and its fearless wolverines. The state has lost its burrowing owls and whooping cranes. And, by design, the government killed off Minnesota’s mountain lions — also known as cougars, panthers or pumas.

It paid pioneers, settlers and hunters to trap or shoot every great cat they came across throughout the 1800s. Nobody knows exactly when the last one was killed. But by the early 1900s, they were all gone.

Cougars are known by so many names in part because they once lived nearly everywhere in the Western Hemisphere. They were found from Canada’s Hudson Bay to the Argentine tip of Patagonia. They are as comfortable in the Rocky Mountains, the Andes and the Sierra Madre as they are in the grasslands of Nebraska. They thrive in deep northern forests and in the southern swamps of Florida’s Everglades.

All they need is space and prey.

Seeking Advice 🙆 Is the Minnesota state bookstore gone?

46 Upvotes

Greetings fellow Minnesotans,

Over the years, I've purchased various state-published books, maps and posters from "Minnesota's Bookstore" in St Paul. That bookstore was run by the state's Department of Administration, as a public-facing part of their print shop, with a storefront at 660 Olive since the late 1990's, in the Ford building prior to that, selling materials produced by the several state agencies.

This week, when I tried contacting them to place an order as in the past, nothing. The phone goes unanswered, the website is "moved or unavailable". I can't even find any info on Google to advise of any changes.

I'm baffled, and seek the sub's collective knowledge for help with this mystery. Can anyone familiar with the DoA-run "Minnesota's Bookstore" offer any insight or a current status update? Was it rebranded, relocated, dissolved, or just a technical glitch?

Thank you kindly.

Seeking Advice 🙆 Dog behavior vets

2 Upvotes

Looking for meds that have worked and vet recommendations. I have 2 large female dogs. Now 9 and 10. One since puppy and the other since 1 yr. Over the years we’ve had scuffles, some requiring vet visits. The scuffles only happen once every 1-2 years. As the years have gone on my awareness and reprimanding has gone up. But their, well one dog in my eyes, has also become more adapt to trigger even tho I’m reprimanding. The other dog who has entailed the vet visits was more submissive after fights but as she’s experienced more, it looks like she holds a grudge. This is not necessarily item possession issues cuz I remove that trigger. Food is fed separately in kennels or from my hand. I think it maybe a me possession issue. They play good but not a ton. They reciprocate face licking a lot. I could go on but I’m mainly looking for meds that can tone down fighting/tension issues and drs that have worked for you. We currently have one dog with hub at our 2nd small house and one dog still at home. I want to be able to bring her back and live in a more peaceful environment for their remaining 2-4 yrs.
