Die #Bundeswehr rüstet auf - für viele Milliarden. Auch Kamikaze-Drohnen stehen auf der „Wunschliste“. Wir haben herausgefunden, dass auch beim israelischen Konzern Elbit Systems einkauft werden soll. Mit @tilleckert.com, @alexejhock.bsky.social und Stella Hesch. correctiv.org/aktuelles/si...

Das Video einer Frau, die im Gericht von einem ICE-Beamten auf den Boden geworfen wurde, schreckte viele in den USA auf. Doch die Geschichte war da nicht vorbei. Ich habe sie für @correctiv.org aufgeschrieben: correctiv.org/aktuelles/in...

Donald Trump greift den US-Rechtsstaat an. Nirgends zeigt sich das deutlicher als in den Gängen eines Gerichts in New York: Die Regierung lässt Einwanderer nach routinemäßigen Terminen verhaften – und entlässt Richter, die nicht spuren. Unser Reporter @tilleckert.com war vor Ort. @correctiv.org

NEW: New York has been quietly preparing for a potential Trump deployment of troops & agents to NYC. Hochul, business, activists mobilized - meeting, discussing lawsuits, talking to LA/Chicago. + New details on Canal Street raid. W/ @danarubinsteinbsky.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/n...

NEW: We reviewed 700+ videos, hours of footage from ICE protesters and counterprotesters in Portland. In 2 months before Trump said he was sending the National Guard, federal officers fire on, grab, pepper-spray or tear gas people 20 times -- without charging anyone. "Gratuitous," one expert said.

Ruben Ortiz-Lopez — detained at 26 Federal Plaza in late Sept — has been released from ICE custody after a habeas petition, court watchers say. He’s the husband of Monica Moreta-Galarza, who was shoved to the ground by an ICE agent. Backstory: www.propublica.org/article/ice-... Photo: Carol Guzy

A local news report said immigration agents were seen wearing Halloween masks in L.A. When asked about the report, a DHS spokeswoman said, “Happy Halloween!”

The federal government has deputized local police to hunt illegal immigrants

Für die Trump-Regierung ist die #AfD ein Werkzeug, um in Europa gegen die Regulierung von US-Techkonzernen vorzugehen. Sie schmeichelt ihr mit Einladungen ins Weiße Haus, worüber sich die AfD profilieren kann. Darüber habe ich mit der @washingtonpost.com gesprochen:

DHS posted a disturbing video today featuring a song that’s popular with Nazi creators

Menschen mit kognitiver Behinderung sind nicht nur häufiger sexueller Gewalt ausgesetzt – ihre Chance auf ein gerechtes Strafverfahren ist auch geringer. Meine Recherche für @correctiv.org zeigt: Sie werden oft wegen ihrer Behinderung als nicht glaubwürdig eingestuft. correctiv.org/barrierefrei...

ICE now has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world and has increased spending on weapons. It's also engaging in a race to recruit 10,000 new agents who will eventually be out in American streets. Some will be vetted, but how many unqualified recruits will fall through the cracks?

Last week, a federal judge ordered immigration agents in Chicago to use body-cams: "That is not a suggestion." Yesterday, agents stopped a state lawmaker and *pointed a gun at him* They had body-cams -- that weren't on I know b/c the cameras have a blinking light when on. These weren't flashing

The National Trust for Historic Preservation warned that President Trump’s planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom would “overwhelm the White House itself,” which spans just 55,000 square feet. https://wapo.st/4hmL8rC

As masked federal agents target street vendors on Canal Street, THE CITY watched one street vendor being detained. As the operation carried on, agents were confronted with a spontaneous crowd of protesters. MORE HERE: www.thecity.nyc/2025/10/21/i...

Droht der Identitären Bewegung ein Verbot? Seit Montag liegt die Begründung des Urteils zum Magazin Compact vor – darin geht es auch um das „Remigrations“-Konzept von IB-Kopf Sellner. Staatsrechtler sagen: Dies sei eine Blaupause für ein IB-Verbotsverfahren. @ukraetzer.bsky.social @correctiv.org

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Journalismus, der es ernst meint mit Freiheit, Demokratie und Aufklärung, kann gar nicht neutral sein - weil es keinen Platz in der Mitte zwischen „für Freiheit“ und „gegen Freiheit“ gibt, zwischen „für“ oder „gegen“ Demokratie oder Aufklärung. Deswegen wurde und wird Journalismus bekämpft.p

German chancellor Merz has now used this exact same phrase

NEW: After Russ Vought experienced the chaotic failures of Trump’s first term, he made it his mission to ensure that a reelected Trump would not “lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.” By @andykroll.bsky.social

Extraordinary NEW story: We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. @nicolefoy.bsky.social w/ photos by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social

BREAKING from PP We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens* The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied: Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado www.propublica.org/article/immi... by @nicolefoy.bsky.social

The Trump administration revoked the U.S. work visa of German journalist and ZDF contributor @sixtus.net after he published a polemical commentary on the killing of Charlie Kirk.

Pentagon reporters could be seen leaving the sprawling U.S. military headquarters with boxes after at least 30 news organizations declined to sign a new Pentagon access policy for journalists, warning of the potential for less coverage of the world's most powerful military.

Even without the national guard, law enforcement agencies of the federal government have been using military hardware and tactics on civilian targets.

Ein neuer Tag, ein neuer AfD-Abgeordneter, der mit einem chinesischen Spion durch China gereist ist.

“I don’t want to be here anymore… What am I supposed to do?” Trump wants them to self deport. They want to self deport. But many Venezuelans cannot leave … like this woman who told me she now plans to try to turn herself into ICE to get out of USA. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

EXKLUSIV Der AfD-Abgeordnete Jan Wenzel Schmidt besichtigte 2023 mit dem Spion Jian G. eine Diamantenproduktion in China. Im gleichen Zeitraum gründete der Lebensgefährte seiner Mutter Briefkastenfirmen für den Handel mit Diamanten. Einer soll bei einem Treffen in Magdeburg übergeben worden sein.

What a story: In Germany, a top AfD politician tried to cash in on diamond deals – teaming up with an alleged Chinese spy. Outstanding reporting by @jmuellertoewe.bsky.social and Annika Leister. www.t-online.de/nachrichten/...

"Only about 13% of the personnel carrying out Trump’s deportation agenda are employed by ICE’s primary deportation unit; the rest are pulled from other jobs, primarily crime-fighting jobs. The admin “is deprioritizing all other types of criminal law enforcement,” says Cato Institute’s David Bier"

@tilleckert.com, a German investigative journalist, witnessed the violent assault of an Ecuadorian woman by an ICE agent in the halls of an NYC immigration courthouse. We talk about his experiences while on that beat & why all eyes are on the US at this moment in history. youtu.be/rTyhww0FJ0Y?...

A woman who was shot multiple times by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents did not ram them with her car and had her weapon stored in her purse at the time of the incident, according to her lawyer, contradicting accounts by the Department of Homeland Security. www.reuters.com/world/us/bod...

New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed www.404media.co/apple-banned...

Great piece from @dell.bsky.social at @wired.com about ICE's newest foray into social media monitoring: the agency is putting out feelers for contractors who can do on-site, open source intel 24/7 for ICE's Targeting Operations Division (TOD). 1/ www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

Although border czar Tom Homan has repeatedly said he recused himself from any “involvement, discussion, input, or decision of any future government contracts,” ProPublica obtained records showing he has had at least some involvement in contracting conversations.

That immigration agent who threw a woman to the ground, prompting DHS to declare his conduct "unacceptable"? He's back at the courthouse. And DHS still won't tell us his name.

I recently reported on an ICE officer who was publicly reprimanded and “relieved of his duties” after shoving a woman to the ground in an NYC immigration court. Well, he’s back. DHS did not respond to a request for comment. Original story: www.propublica.org/article/ice-... Photos: Carol Guzy

"Salisbury’s messages with a close-knit circle of security officials discussed (…) the need to reinstate an ICE agent who had been fired for throwing a woman to the ground in New York City (…)." www.startribune.com/trump-offici...

In July, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself.

JUST IN: ICE didn’t say how much migrants would get or when the offer would take effect, but The AP obtained an email to migrant shelters saying children 14 years of age and older would get $2,500 each. Children were given 24 hours to respond. apnews.com/article/ice-...

Scenes from Immigration Court in New York’s Federal Plaza: @tilleckert.com spent two weeks reporting from the twelfth-floor hallways, where ICE agents have had charged encounters with immigrants and reporters. Interview with @riddhisetty.bsky.social www.cjr.org/getting-the-...

BREAKING: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has bought access to a surveillance tool that is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data from hundreds of millions of mobile phones, according to ICE documents reviewed by 404 Media. 🔗 www.404media.co/ice-to-buy-t...

1/ DEVELOPING: A journalist was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital following another incident with an ICE agent at 26 Federal Plaza, an immigration court in NYC. The last I heard, he was getting X-rays for his lower back.

New: four million people could be forced to leave public housing and other federally assisted housing under new plans from the Trump administration, according to experts who reviewed drafts of two unpublished rules obtained by @propublica.org.

Ya know, I'm reminded today of a story I did re Eric Adams controlling a secretive, abusive NYPD unit The connex was so tight, the mayor had access to a *live-feed* of the unit's body-cams “The unit effectively reported directly to City Hall," a source told me www.propublica.org/article/eric...

Till, an investigative reporter from Germany, arrived in the U.S. just eight weeks ago for a fellowship with @propublica.org. “I’d been alarmed by videos of masked ICE agents sweeping immigrants off the street, scenes I never thought I’d see in the United States.”

My @propublica.org colleague @tilleckert.com filmed the ICE officer who shoved a distraught mother to the floor inside a New York courthouse. ICE says the officer has been “relieved of current duties as we conduct a full investigation.”

New: The video I filmed of an ICE agent shoving a woman to the ground at 26 Federal Plaza, a New York City immigration courthouse, went viral. Then, in a rare move, the government publicly reprimanded the officer, calling his actions “unacceptable.” www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

NEW: Rep. Dan Goldman and Brad Lander, the city comptroller, have referred the ICE officer to the Department of Justice for "felony prosecution." The two-page referral accused the officer of using "excessive force" that deprived the victim of her Fourth Amendment rights.
