Supposedly that's how bankruptcy happens. I think it is also how fascism happens.

We are in the suddenly part of the experience.

A school superintendent from Vermont is speaking out about his experience being detained for several hours at Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport.

Wilmer Chavarria is the superintendent of the Winooski School District in Vermont and is a naturalized U.S. citizen. He says earlier this week he was returning from visiting family in Nicaragua, when he was detained by Customs and Border Protection agents for hours, and his personal electronic devices were searched.

Chavarria told Houston Matters with Craig Cohen he has made this particular journey many times before — including connecting through Houston — without incident.

“I’ve never really been through something like I went through this week,” he said. “And so something clearly has changed.”
