Pieper Lewis was 15 years old when, according to court documents, the man sheltering her forced her to have sex for money. She stabbed one abuser 30 times, killing him. On Tuesday, she was sentenced and ordered to pay his family $150,000. nyti.ms/3ddHuUA

We’re seeing an uptick in community arrests in Philadelphia by ICE. Strongly believed they’re linked to the nearly 1,000 empty beds at Moshannon detention center which is just four hours from the city. (1/#)
