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.
