Not sure if you happened to catch Thursday's episode of The Daily. I was interviewed and talked about the extraordinary ways President Trump and his family have monetized the White House, based on a decade of reporting on the Trump family. Please listen & share www.nytimes.com/2026/07/09/p...

Federal immigration agents who killed a man during a traffic stop in Houston on Tuesday had been searching for a different person, according to a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman.

Thomas L. Friedman, NYT opinion writer, cites reporting by Eric Lipton and David Yaffe-Bellany today as part of his column on Trump and the presdient's enormous earnings in 2025, including $1.4 billion on crypto. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/07/o...

NEW: Federal immigration officials have detained more than 10,000 people in the last 5 days, a major surge that has stemmed from a push at ICE to increase arrests. The WH has wanted more arrests. The expectation inside ICE is 2K arrests a day. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

Transparency, even when it is examining your own company operations. One of the many things I admire about The NYT. A deeply reported look at Russini’s closeness to a coach, Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots, that led to her breakup with The Athletic/NYT www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/n...

The Trump administration can expedite the deportations of unauthorized immigrants nationwide, an appeals court ruled.

NEW: In the coming weeks, the US plans to provide a welcome gift to white South Africans. They will get an Android tablet, an American flag. They will also receive a packet of literature that provides a sanitized, Trump-approved view of American and South African history.

NEW: The Trump administration told a federal court judge in Michigan that it plans to sell the warehouse it purchased to detain immigrants in the state. This is the first public acknowledgement of plans to sell warehouses after our story last week.

SCOOP: Memo by Rubio Approved Detention of Immigrant Who Criticized Trump Ally www.nytimes.com/2026/06/19/u...

The Salt Lake City warehouse is reportedly one of seven warehouses the agency plans to sell or give away. ICE paid $145 million for the building in March, well above its $97 million value. www.kuer.org/politics-gov... @haleaziz.bsky.social broke the story for NYT.

The ICE site in Roxbury, New Jersey, is on this list, according to the NYT. The U.S. government -- in other words, the public -- paid nearly double the market rate for that site in Morris County. www.njspotlightnews.org/2026/03/prev... @njspotlightnews.org #ICE #NJ

ICE plans to sell or give away seven warehouses it bought for $700 million to detain migrants, according to documents obtained by The New York Times. The decision, a major reversal, is a rejection of a signature initiative under the previous homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem. trib.al/o5iUEu3

Huge about-face. After buying warehouses with tax dollars, at inflated prices, ICE will now try to dump them. Documents obtained by @haleaziz.bsky.social show that a NJ warehouse slated to become a 1,500-bed detention center is on the offload list. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

For those interested. The locations include: Romulus, Michigan Social Circle, Georgia Flowery Branch, Georgia Hamburg, Pennsylvania Tremont, Pennsylvania Salt Lake City Roxbury, New Jersey

SCOOP: ICE is planning to offload seven warehouses purchased for more than $700 million by either giving them to other federal agencies or selling them outright, according to documents obtained by The New York Times. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

New: An internal email obtained by Times shows, a lawyer for ICE instructed a Justice Department lawyer preparing to appear before Judge DuBose, that he should withhold information about international charges from the judge. The email has not been previously reported.

NEW from @haleaziz.bsky.social: Florida today told workers at "Alligator Alcatraz," a state-run immigration detention tent camp which was holding around 1,400 people as of last month, that it would be shutting down the camp, with all detainees transferred out (likely to ICE) by early June.

MSM news reports rarely state that a public figure "lied" bc that is the word for a situation in which a speaker says something false with intent to deceive (vs being mistaken, deluded, etc). Subjective interior state of mind is tricky to impute from outside. I understand why this is irritating.
