Huge congratulations on this truly excellent win--the court's order is a model for so many others going forward!

We’re in court challenging ICE’s denial of access to legal counsel to people held at the detention center cruelly dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz." Access to an attorney is a right, not a privilege.

This is not great www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Thanks to John Carlos Frey for having me on his new podcast, The Raid, to discuss the expansion of ICE detention, and ICE's abusive treatment of pregnant individuals in custody. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUhe...

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines. This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

Horrifying. Local communities must organize to resist ICE’s new, cruel plan to detain and literally detain immigrants in warehouses designed for goods and property: wapo.st/4axtwZ4

DHS said that accusations of abuses in Camp East Montana are “clickbait.” But 911 emergency calls from the massive detention center I obtained paint a different picture, with emergency being made for life-threatening illnesses and acute mental health crises. My story:

"I know they killed him" Lucía Pedro Juan was detained with her husband, Francisco Gaspar Cristóbal Andrés, on Sept. 1. She was held for almost 3 months in Camp East Montana. She was deported to Guatemala. Her husband died on Dec. 3. I traveled to speak with her for the El Paso Times.

Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities. 28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

The below screenshot is from December 9. Now at least 4 more deaths in ICE custody. What the hell is happening?

People detained at the nation’s largest ICE detention center report that officers have beaten them and used the threat of violence and criminal charges to coerce non-Mexican immigrants into crossing the border into the Mexican desert. We're demanding that the facility be shut down immediately.

Over the past 3 months, we've investigated conditions at the ICE detention facility at Ft. Bliss. Officers have beaten detainees and threatened criminal sanction to coerce them into accepting deportation to Mexico, even though they are not from Mexico. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50. I hate that we now have to live without this phenomenal woman. #GiftLink wapo.st/49WOdx1

Rest in power, Alice Wong. Thank you for the beautiful wisdom, courage, and vision you brought to this world.

www.npr.org/2025/11/12/n... "These facilities are places where there's terrible neglect, incredible amounts of abuse that are allowed to happen, where people die because of the fact that they are not receiving proper medical care."

The Trump administration is now considering using warehouses built for Amazon to detain immigrants. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

ICE is denying people their due process rights and endangering their lives in the process. “People were not supposed to spend more than 12 hours in there,” said a former ICE official who worked on oversight and detention issues. “I actually think it’s wildly, wildly fucked up.”

Congratulations to the @macarthurjustice.bsky.social and ACLU of Illinois team on this important win!!!!

A federal jury this week found a private company that runs detention centers liable for the 2015 death of an inmate in Louisiana and awarded the man’s family $42.75 million in damages.
