Feds bust dozens in 'modern-day slavery' operation, migrants held at gunpoint on Georgia farms

WELLINGTON, CO - OCTOBER 11: Mexican migrant workers harvest organic spinach at Grant Family Farms on October 11, 2011 in Wellington, Colorado. Although demand for the farm's organic produce is high, Andy Grant said that his migrant labor force, mostly from Mexico, is sharply down this year and that he'll be unable to harvest up to a third of his fall crops, leaving vegetables in the fields to rot. He said that stricter U.S. immigration policies nationwide have created a "climate of fear" in the immigrant community and many workers have either gone back to Mexico or have been deported. Although Grant requires proof of legal immigration status from his employees, undocumented migrant workers frequently obtain falsified permits in order to work throughout the U.S. Many farmers nationwide say they have found it nearly impossible to hire American citizens for labor-intensive seasonal farm work.

Morning Digest: No, that Georgia poll showing a 'tied' primary for governor doesn't actually show it

FILE - In this Dec. 8, 2020, file photo, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp speaks to reporters during a COVID-19 update in the Capitol in Atlanta. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger won wide praise last fall for firmly rejecting former President Donald Trumpâ€™s false claims of voter fraud. But now that those claims have spawned an effort to tighten voting laws, one that could impact their political fortunes, the two Republicans are taking a softer approach.

Climate Brief: Headed for a sixth mass extinction? MIT geophysicist warns oceans are on the brink

GRAND ISLE, LA - AUGUST 24: A view of the newly restored Caminada Headland, a 13-mile-long barrier island system that buffers the Louisiana coast from tropical storms and surge, August 24, 2019 in Grand Isle, Louisiana. The Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority restored the crucial protective land mass and calls it the state's largest ever restoration project to date. The $216 million project was funded largely through criminal fines paid by BP and Transocean, owner of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. According to researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Louisiana's combination of rising waters and sinking land give it one of the highest rates of relative sea level rise on the planet. Since the 1930s, Louisiana has lost over 2,000 square miles of land and wetlands, an area roughly the size of Delaware. In the past 30 years, as subsidence continues and the effects of climate change increase, Louisiana has been losing its coastal landscape at the rate of almost a football fields worth of land every hour.
