Just checked and ICE managed to update its detention management webpage with new text or something but the excel document that contains new detention statistics remains unchanged. www.ice.gov/detain/deten...

Happy birthday to the Washington Metro, which opened 50 years ago today with service on 4.6 mi of Red Line between Rhode Is. Ave & Farragut N. System now serves 130 mi. The DC Metro shows that, with good planning & enough investment, the public sector can succeed & build something extraordinary.

NEW: Last fall, our team at @weareoversight.bsky.social sued DHS to access internal documents re: deploying the Nat'l Guard to LA to quash pro-immigration protests. Among the docs we received was an email from then-DHS Acting Gen Counsel Joseph Mazzara supporting violence against protestors. 🧵 (1/5)

This reporting continues our investigations into the feds who occupied Chicago last year. The Southeast Side chase ended in BORTAC agents launching a barrage of chemical munitions at everyone in their path. We identified several, including Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, last month:

Body cam videos of a Border Patrol chase in Chicago last fall appear to contradict the initial DHS narrative of agents executing a PIT maneuver—a nudging at high speed to disable a fleeing driver. Instead, feds blew a tire and crashed after a supervisor told them to stop the pursuit:

No idea who came up with this nonsense but it’s the most Pete Hegseth branded thing of all time zeteo.com/p/gay-ayatol...

i said last year that these people were segregationists and that “merit” just meant “white and male” to these people

This. Is. Murder. Even. If. No. One. Calls. It. That.

ICE locks tens of thousands of detainees nationwide in a network of 170 "hold rooms" spread across 49 states, which are forbidden from containing beds. Today, we are publishing location and detainee information about all 170 facilities. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/03/excl...

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

A Venezuelan who was sent to CECOT under Trump's Alien Enemies Act proclamation, has filed suit under the Federal Tort Claims Act in DC seeking for damages for 4 months of beatings, inhumane treatment, trauma. ... 1/2 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Sisyphus but every day he unsubscribes from marketing and promotion emails.

Unlike officials in Minneapolis, Chicago & other IL officials have done *nothing* to investigate ICE brutality in Chicago, especially the killing of Silverio Villegas González. I appreciate @blockclubchi.bsky.social for many things, esp for staying on this story blockclubchicago.org/2026/03/23/i...

"We certainly wouldn't imagine a scenario where the police said, 'We're going to search your house. We don't have a warrant, but we paid your landlord $100 to give us a spare key. So now we're searching your house without a warrant,'" So why can police buy their way around warrant rules for data?

NEW: Trump had business motive for keeping classified documents, Jack Smith finds The special counsel’s team found Donald Trump held onto documents so secret only six people could legally review them — and believed his reason for doing so was personal financial gain. www.ms.now/news/trump-c...

Top White House advisor Stephen Miller, the longtime architect of Donald Trump’s anti-immigration policies, asked Texas Republicans last week in a closed-door meeting to kick undocumented children out of public schools.

“The prevailing feeling on Monday was that at least the ICE agents at airports around the country weren’t shooting people.”

counted 25 ICE officers (most with ERO vests) during my 26-minute wait in the LGA Terminal C Touchless line this morning. every one of them was either standing doing nothing or slowly walking the length of the line doing nothing. at least four were in masks.

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

This whole ‘there are cherry blossoms’ in neighborhoods and not just the tidal basin always cracks me up. YES! The awesome Casey Trees even has a map!

"The Justice Department is increasingly telling judges it can’t defend ICE’s actions..." www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Check out this great conversation about all the awful things going on with ICE detention, featuring me, @austinkocher.com and @ximenabustillo.bsky.social on Kara Swisher's podcast!

The U.S. is quietly deporting thousands of migrants to Mexico who have no connection to the country. Many are homeless and quasi-stateless: undocumented in Mexico but unable to return home. “They’re sending them here to die,” a shelter official told me. www.latimes.com/world-nation...

This cruelty is being done in our name. Shame on this administration. Shame. 13,000 third country deportees so far. Many were ordered deported decades or even generations earlier, but no admin previously would have considered something as inhumane as this as a means of carrying out a removal.

The cop on the stand getting asked if Afroman really slept with his wife saying "I don't know" is 😘

I'm a little obsessed with the Afroman defamation trial.

NEW: Virginia lawmakers just passed a bill that'd forbid sheriffs and local police from contracting with ICE, if ICE doesn't say it'll follow state laws and agree to let its agents be prosecuted. Everyone seems to agree that'd spell the end of ICE contracts in Virginia: boltsmag.org/virginia-bil...

NEW: The Trump administraiton has lost more than 7,000 immigration detention cases in recent months. Increasingly, DOJ is telling judges they have no argument to present or couldn't get facts from ICE to present in court. A look at this emerging trend. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

A number of Jewish organizations are shrilly insisting that any criticism of Israeli genocide and warmongering is an illegitimate attack on Jews. At the same time, an increasing number of non-Jewish people are insisting that any attack on Jews is a legitimate attack on Israel. This sucks, man

Corey Lewandowski reportedly ran a DHS contracting pay-to-play scheme, partly through a DHS contractor called Salus Worldwide Solutions @pogo.org & @motherjones.com have published two major investigations of questionable DHS contracting with Salus www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Royer Perez-Jimenez was 19 years old. He died by suicide at 3am on March 16 at Glades County Detention Center in Florida. He is the 2nd person to die in ICE custody this week, the 13th this year, and the 42nd under Trump. 🧵

Big @nbcnews.com investigation just dropped: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

During covid, a Black friend of mine was masked up in the grocery store. This white dude walked up to her, yanked her mask down, got in her face and shouted “ALL LIVES MATTER.” They both knew exactly what he meant by that.

Um, what? Mullin is claiming that as a congressman, he was selected for some sort of mission that required training that was "hell," and was then sent somewhere where he "smelled war." But it's all classified. And only four people know about it. And he can't share any more details.

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

Agents of Chaos: Border Patrol’s year of unchecked force A visual investigation shows how five agents moved from city to city, with their tactics becoming more brazen at each stop.

BLUMENTHAL: What about Renee Good? You were asked whether you believed her shooting was justified, and you replied, 'absolutely.' Do you regret that statement? MARKWAYNE MULLIN: It's very clear an officer had to make a split decision as the car was running toward him and did strike him

BLUMENTHAL: Stephen Miller said Pretti was a 'domestic terrorist' who 'tried to assassinate law enforcement.' Don't you think it was irresponsible for Miller to make that claim without evidence, just as retracted your statement? MULLIN: I think that Q is better asked to Stephen Miller, not myself

We worked with @evidentmedia.org and @calmatters.org to track and identify Border Patrol agents who have used force in multiple cities and on multiple occasions during immigration crackdowns over the past year 👇

This is even worse than the capsule description, as it is riddled with exceptions
