On Monday, the St. Louis immigration bar received an amazing treat. Ira Kurzban, one of the most important and thoughtful immigration lawyers in all the land, came to St. Louis for a CLE presentation with local hero immigration lawyer Javad Khazaeli. During the CLE, Ira and Javad walked attendees through the history of U.S. immigration law during the last five years and then shared some of the scary immigration plans of Donald Trump's Project 2025. Trump is promising to deport 12 million undocumented immigrants. He wants to build deportation camps and to use the military and local law enforcement to round up every immigrant who lacks legal status. Trump and his acolytes also want to severely curtail legal immigration to the U.S. Scary stuff. I hope it was a wakeup call to all attendees on the seriousness of this next election, especially for those who care about immigrants like I do. After the CLE, some of us were lucky enough to join Ira and Javad at Ben Poremba's amazing new restaurant, Esca. We had a fundraiser for Immigrants List, a political action committee devoted to helping get politicians who care about immigration issues elected to Congress. It was an amazing day. Special thanks to Jill Mceldowney, Thomas Kalish, Casey Plach, Rekha Sharma-Crawford, Michael Sharma-Crawford, Jessica Mayo, Nicole Mejia, David Cox, Genevra Alberti, Mario H. Camere, Gary Burger, Matthew McBride and everyone else for helping support immigrants at this crucial time.

After a 1988 TBI/coma, my JUDGMENT healed in 2017, so I bought 2500 Rural King shares & 'cashed out' $110k+ in 2019! A Bank VP told 1/2 owner Melvin to make me CEO, instead of his BA-only son, so co-owner Speer retired!
