No million dollars for you! "Clock boy" clocked.  Judge dismisses 'clock boy' lawsuit saying the school didn't discriminate against Ahmed Mohamed when the Muslim teen's teacher called the police because she thought he made a bomb.

• Ahmed's father, Mohamed Mohamed, filed a lawsuit claiming his son's Fifth Amendment rights were violated by the arrest

What Universe Is This Journalist Orbiting?

From Detroit News:

The secret device was used in March by a team of FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Metro Detroit to find Rudy Carcamo-Carranza, 23, a twice-deported restaurant worker from El Salvador whose only brushes with the law involve drunken driving allegations and a hit-and-run crash.  

Only brushes with the law? How many times have you been picked up for drunk driving? How many times have you been found guilty of hit-and-run? 23 years old and already multiple crimes. Deported twice. Three strikes and you're out. My hunch is we will hear from this loser again.
