ICE round-up, hail storm, and a hurling Darvish.

ICE Rounds Up 26 Undocumented Parolees As They Show Up For Community Service. The sweep in Fort Worth yesterday morning is believed to be the largest of its kind in North Texas in recent years. The parolees had been convicted of high-level misdemeanors or low-level felonies, and, according to Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn, they had been released from jail by mistake. That seems like a fairly high number of people released from jail by mistake and I wouldn’t mind hearing more about that portion of this story. I know it’s probably referring to the fact that they should have been detained because of their undocumented status, but still.

Denton and Collin Counties Hit With Hail. Golfball- and softball-size hail rained down on the northern part of North Texas last night, and there was a tornado in Justin, as we are firmly in the “cliche about Texas weather” part of the year.

Yu Darvish Named Opening Day Starter. It’s not until April 3, so you guys have some time to get excited and maybe even kick around some old Yu puns.
