I did a 165 mile ride in one go, biked Pittsburgh to DC, did an 8 day trip in Canada, and bought a fancy bike. I'm excited to ride it in 2026

Unfortunately this is an email about the heat being off in our building and not the hit 1995 movie, Heat, written and directed by Michael Mann

US deputy attorney general Todd Blanche said “several hundred thousand” documents would be made public on Friday, but the need to protect the victims meant thousands more would be released over the next couple of weeks.

Great story showing how you can use Deportation Data Project info to show the long reaching geographic impacts of these ICE raids

This is a great piece on Trump's near-destruction of the National Labor Relations Board. (And I'm betting they don't let the Acting GC go on-the-record about anything after his performance here. Kudos to @msainato.bsky.social for a very effective interview.) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites. He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him. www.wsj.com/world/china/...

There are a lot of situations a mother might need to remove all metals & jewelry to safely deliver a child & few clear procedures for what to do with a BI ankle monitor or a smart watch in the case of an emergency. Nurses say this is causing delays in care www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The women are part of an ICE Alternative to Detention program that keeps tabs on ~200k immigrants using ankle monitors, smart watches & more. Tampering w/ the smart watch would alert ICE & the firm running the program BI Inc that someone might be trying to abscond www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

New: Pregnant immigrant women are showing up to deliver their babies w/ surveillance smart watches on their wrists as part of an ICE monitoring program. They’re too afraid of being detained to have the watch cut off even when it’s medically necessary. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

NEW: We took a deep dive into ICE's data dragnet: the data brokers, biometrics tools, and license plate readers powering Trump's deportation effort. Some of the contracts are for tools previous administrations deemed too intrusive.

DetentionReports.com has been updated with ICE detainee population data through November 28, 2025. Information for 232 facilities can now be found on the website.

ICE just released new detention statistics. As of November 30, 2025, ICE was detaining 65,735 people across the United States. www.ice.gov/detain/deten...

New Deportation Data Project data is out, with arrests and detentions through Oct 15 2025

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin. New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

Wow I love watching Pluribus

Deposition of Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino went off the rails at hello, transcript shows

I provide three different datasets: one based on individuals booked into custody, one based on ICE arrests, and one based on the currently detained population. ALL three prove ICE is lying about focusing on the "worst of the worst" cato.org/blog/5-ice-d...

1/2 of detainees had no criminal conviction or even pending charges, which are often minor and do not end with a criminal conviction. ICE often arrests these people, actively thwarting their ability to clear their names cato.org/blog/5-ice-d...

NEW data I've received: Just 5% of people detained by ICE since October 1 have had violent criminal convictions, 3/4 had no criminal convictions at all. Most "criminals" had immigration, traffic, and vice offenses. Not the "worst of the worst"...

The Guardian is tracking the Trump administration's campaign of mass deportation. Since Trump was inaugurated, ICE and CBP: - arrested nearly 290,000 people - deported more than 290,000 people As of Nov 17, 65,000 people are in immigration detention, an all time high

Every person I know who is roughly my age is dealing with something like this right now www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/o...

ICE arrests in Kentucky are up nearly 40% this year, driven in part by financial incentives and expanding 287(g) agreements. Over 70% of those arrested had no criminal conviction. @forwardky.bsky.social Read about it here: www.forwardky.com/driven-by-fi...

ICE arrest were (probably) the highest ever during the first month of the new fiscal year in October when the agency made over 41,641 arrests. Many of these arrests were in Chicago, where a judge found many of the arrests to violate consent decree. austinkocher.substack.com/p/breaking-i...
