Cdr. Jacob Beckelhymer remembers vividly the first time his warship came under attack in the Red Sea. It was late September of last year, and the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Stockdale was already several months into its lengthy Middle East deployment.

3rd Reich... ATLANTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - A Georgia mother who says she’s a U.S. citizen remains locked inside a private immigration detention center, swept up in a wave of federal immigration enforcement that’s bringing historic profits to the company detaining her. Alma Bowman, 58, was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in March during a routine check-in at its Atlanta field office. ICE transferred her the same day to Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, operated by the private prison contractor CoreCivic, as it initiated deportation proceedings to the Philippines. Bowman’s father, Lawrence Bowman, was a U.S. Navy serviceman from Illinois stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. Alma Bowman was born there in 1966. Her family moved to the U.S. when she was 10, and she’s lived in Macon for nearly five decades. Military records and her birth certificate lists Lawrence Bowman as her father.
