A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Today we published a project I've been working on all summer. Jerardyn, a Venezuelan immigrant, lived in a church basement in L.A. with her children. As ICE raids took over the city, she decided her safest option was to leave to Mexico. We followed her journey: www.latimes.com/california/s...

Hundreds of people who were once detained at “Alligator Alcatraz,” the troubled immigration jail in the Florida Everglades, have disappeared from government records. We speak to a reporter and an advocate about what we know.

More than that. "The FBI ***recorded*** Tom Homan taking the money "after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration."

Asking why Trump isn't deporting the criminals he said he would be deporting is "center left," per the @latimes.com AI bot. Really incredible the way it ingests hyperbole as facts, strips facts of nuance and context, confuses timelines, and concludes there is no community trauma.

DHS and California National Guard twice shoved dozens of protesters into Alameda Street, hitting people with riot shields, firing pellets into the ground and deploying tear gas to clear a path for a caravan of DHS, Border Patrol and military vehicles to enter the detention center.

Nat Guard/DHS threw tear gas canisters and smoke grenades into the crowd. Protesters and media hit. Pellet rounds deployed. All to seemingly clear path for a convoy of DHS/Border Patrol vehicles. I got hit but fine after an eye rinse.
