Every word, every letter in the Torah is used for a specific reason and purpose. We are reminded of this concept often through the teachings of Chazal where they will derive significant meanings from a word missing a letter, which it would customarily have (chaser), or a word having an “extra” letter - one which it normally would not have (maleh).

Supporters of the bill argued the program erodes trust between police and immigrant communities. They also claimed the vast majority of deportations tied to the program involve low-level offenses, with...
