SUMMARY: A Berkeley County family is suing Delta Air Lines after a Delta employee allegedly stole their child’s iPad left on a connecting flight from Charleston.

SUMMARY: Andre Lindsay has been held in ICE detention for nearly three years despite having a green card. His family says he was initially jailed on charges that were later dropped, yet ICE detained him afterward, citing drug charges from over 25 years ago, which he already served time for. Lindsay testified in a murder trial, leading to the deportation of several men from Jamaica, whom he fears if returned.
