Vice President Vance said military members will continue receiving their pay amid the government shutdown, suggesting to reporters Tuesday that President Donald Trump has identified new funding to avoid a first-ever lapse in troop pay.

Hi! We made a show for you about what’s been happening at immigration court: www.thisamericanlife.org/868/the-hand...

“No one I interviewed could think of an example of American law enforcement masking. Jules Epstein, a law professor at Temple University, said that in his more than 45 years of practice, he had never seen the police wear masks, including in high-profile gang cases.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/u...

🚨NEW: Reversing *generations* of practice, the Board of Immigration Appeals gives ICE exactly what it demanded, ruling that any undocumented immigrant who entered illegally is categorically ineligible for release from detention on bond — expanding mandatory detention by millions of people.

Christopher Kinnison, who owns a one-man law firm in the central Louisiana, is "tired of losing.” His clients are among the thousands of people who had been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after President Trump took office.

Restaurants in Washington, D.C., many of which are still reeling from the pandemic and decreased spending, are now trying to encourage diners to visit despite images of National Guard troops on the streets and of people being detained by armed agents.

Seneca County Jail is located in Tiffin, Ohio. Immigration and Customs Enforcement currently detains a person at this facility for an average of 39 days. detentionreports.com/facility/SEN...

Border czar Tom Homan says there will be "no amnesty" for undocumented farmworkers.

This was so lovely! Thank you :)

Hello! If you are a government employee who was asked to take a polygraph and you refused I’d love to talk to you. Happy to discuss anonymity if that’s what you need.

Hi it’s me your friendly neighborhood immigration reporter. I made you a story! Give it a go?

Here’s the story I’ve been working on for the past few weeks. Inside the world of one person out of the 238 taken to CECOT. I would say enjoy but…you’ll see: www.thisamericanlife.org/859/chaos-gr...

Mind-boggling that DHS's official position on this case is genuinely that a US citizen dad from Albuquerque visiting family in Tucson went up to a Border Patrol agent and said "Hi, I'm a Mexican man who entered here illegally, please deport me." Do they think we are dumb?

NEW: Judge edges towards contempt-of-court proceedings for Trump administration in case over deportation flights. Judge James Boasberg says officials may have acted in 'bad faith' by rushing flights as urgent court action was underway. w/@kyledcheney www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

ICE disappeared a 52 year old mother today from Westminster, Maryland whose children said she has no criminal record and is legally allowed to be in the country from El Salvador because she has a pending immigration case.

Incredible reporting

This is a very big concession fwiw

Judge Boasberg is having a hearing starting now on the DOJ motion to vacate his Temporary Restraining Order barring the government from carrying out any further Alien Enemies Act removals. I can't cover the hearing as I'm at a conference and about to appear on a panel. Check the below for coverage!

Hello! Always worth saying that if you work for immigration and wanna talk to me, you absolutely can on signal any time and I will die on the hill of protecting your anonymity. Don’t be shy!

They arrived at the United States border from around the world, hoping to seek asylum. Instead, they were detained, shackled and flown by the U.S. military to a faraway country, Panama. Our exclusive look at a new front in Pres. Trump’s immigration crackdown:

President Trump without evidence blamed FAA diversity programs and the Biden administration for the deadly midair aircraft collision in Washington, D.C., that took place Wednesday night. No cause has been determined yet.

President Trump wants to deport tens of thousands of migrants to Guantanamo Bay, and we explain here what he may be talking about. w/ @haleaziz.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/01/29/u...

Not a great sign when Wired says it won't name at least two fo the people Musk has installed to run the Office of Personnel Management because they may be minors www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

This was reported. A lot. Not just by @motherjones.com etc, but by the biggest outlets. The bigger question is: why didn’t people see/believe/care about that reporting. Stop blaming reporting entities for information ecosystem issues outside of their control. Also…subscribe to some stuff ffs.

Minutes ago, the Trump admin revoked the sensitive locations policy that prevented ICE from carrying out enforcement arrests inside churches, hospitals, and schools.

Litigation of Trump's immigration policies has already begun--the @aclu.org just filed a request based on today's cancellation of CBP One appointments Are asking for a status conference TODAY

Yeah, watch it - video clips out the salutes! Clearly someone over there said "bad look"

"At this time, we at TRAC do not know if the block is a result of a technical glitch, or if it is intentional. We have contacted Syracuse University, and are still waiting for an official statement.” 2/2

Just a messenger here. I can share the following. "TRAC’s website has been blocked from outside access by Syracuse University as of January 8, 2025. As a result, the public does not have access to “https://trac.syr.edu” nor "https://tracfed.syr.edu." 1/2
