Last Wednesday, on the same day federal agents searched the Virginia home of former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, FBI agents armed with a search warrant took the phone of former law professor John Eastman as he was leaving a restaurant, presumably in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Eastman said in a court filing Monday.

Bizet is named for the French composer of the most beloved opera of all time: Carmen. The Santa Fe Opera launches its 2022 opera season this week, and in celebration of the season, Española Humane will be naming pets for the composers, characters and librettists of each opera. As the Santa Fe Opera inspires passion for a living art form, Española Humane is passionate about saving lives.
