DEPORTATIONS. Trump deported fewer Mexicans in 2017 than Obama did in 2016: “In total, Trump's use of the United States' deportation machinery resulted in roughly 152,000 Mexican nationals being deported between and January and November 2017. Obama's use of the nation's deportation machinery resulted in roughly 205,000 Mexican nationals being deported between January and November 2016.”
POLAR BEAR PLUNGE. Derek Hough is taking his early.
VICE. People still think it's okay for businesses to turn away gay customers. “According to a survey by University of Indiana-Bloomington sociologists published last week—the first national public opinion survey on whether businesses like Phillips' should be allowed to turn away same-sex couples—Americans don't see his refusal through a prism of highfalutin ideas about freedom of speech or religious freedom. Instead, they mostly frame it as a libertarian fight for individuals' rights. And viewed this way, many believe the baker has the right to discriminate against whomever he chooses.”
FIGURE SKATING. Gay Games lifts some restrictions on figure skaters for Paris 2018. “The Gay Games have long struggled with a fractured relationship with the International Skating Union that has threatened to punish members if they compete in the Gay Games. Now a new breakthrough between the two organizations will open up the Gay Games for all of the world's figure skaters.”
