Our story about treatment delays and life-threatening incidents in ICE facilities is cited by ~30 US senators in a letter to Noem, urging her to "cease detaining pregnant, postpartum, and nursing women absent exceptional circumstances." www.cantwell.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Just got a great set of emails from the FBI.

New from me: Filings from a Virginia lawsuit offer a rare insight into how often Flock automatic license plate readers track people going about their daily lives: Multiple times a day, and hundreds over a period of a few months this year.

New from 404 Media: M-17 is the military variant of the Sig Sauer P320, a handgun famous for accidental discharges. ICE recently told agents to not use it. Well, the DC National Guard is being trained to use them on the streets of DC. www.404media.co/dc-national-...

NJ Transit's official data makes it difficult to tell just how bad it is. So @suryamattu.com and I spent three months collecting the raw location data for more than 190,000 trains on NJT, Metro-North, and LIRR. Then @mariepastora.bsky.social made the graphics to show you. The answer: Very bad.

US Senator Jon Ossoff has launched an investigation into the abuse of women and children in US immigration detention, citing among other reports, the WIRED story below: www.ossoff.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

NEW: DOGE affiliate Chris Sweet has developed an AI tool that is being used to rapidly slash government regulations, according to details of a meeting reviewed by @wired.com. Scoop by me: www.wired.com/story/sweetr...

If I were president I’d call in the national guard to fix the oig.dc.gov subdomain, because clearly it was hijacked.

NEW: Four National Guard armories were breached weeks apart in incidents previously undisclosed, with evidence pointing toward a possible inside job. Sensitive equipment was taken. We learned FBI took point, but it declined to confirm its involvement. By me w/ records via @propertyofthepeople.org

A Chicago woman went to immigration court. Her case was dismissed; she and her infant were taken by federal agents who turned her over to contractor MVM. They spent five days confined at the Sonesta O'Hare hotel without communication to the outside world. My first byline at @injusticewatch.org:

"Was George Floyd killed by a police officer? The official answer, according to a newly revealed set of federal government records, is no." Excellent reporting here by @themarshallproject.org www.themarshallproject.org/2025/08/07/d...

Forthcoming March 2026

WIRED has relaunched subscriptions with a bunch of new exclusive stuff. To give a sense of what readers get for $2 a month, I'm going to highlight some of the collaborative stories I've been a part of this year, one of the most inspiring in my 11+ years in this newsroom. Thread!

Friday was my last day at WIRED. Today I started a new job at Bloomberg on a dream desk with @suryamattu.com and @jeffykao.bsky.social. Got a tip? A dataset? Something we should look at? Find me on Signal at dmehro.89 In no particular order, here’s some stuff I’d like to continue to dig in to:

New: Metadata shows nearly 3 minutes were cut from what the DOJ & FBI described as “full raw” Epstein surveillance footage. WIRED previously revealed the video was stitched together in Premiere Pro. Now we’ve found one of the source clips was nearly 3 mins longer than what was released

The DOJ released what it called “raw” footage from the prison where Epstein died—but metadata shows it was stitched from multiple clips and processed by Adobe Premier before being made public. Experts say its unclear what was changed, but absent an explanation it will fuel conspiracies.

ICE published a document showing that from April to mid-June, two detained people on hunger strike were subjected to either force-feeding, forced urinary catheterization, or involuntary blood draws. www.ice.gov/doclib/deten...

Thanks to @msnbc.com for covering @dmehro.bsky.social and @dell.bsky.social’s reporting: www.msnbc.com/deadline-whi... Original story here: www.wired.com/story/ice-de...

ICYMI: WIRED obtained hundreds of 911 calls from inside ICE detention centers. Pregnancy complications, seizures, overdoses, sexual assaults, chest pains, head wounds, and more. Experts say for every 911 call, countless medical emergencies go unreported. The story is free to read:

WIRED has made this article free for all to read because it is primarily based on reporting from Freedom of Information Act requests please consider subscribing to support our journalism www.wired.com/story/ice-de...

NEW: 911 audio and EMS records from ICE detention centers reveal a surge in medical emergencies — including staff sexual assaults, suicide attempts, and head injuries. Records also show calls over severe pregnancy complications. Free to read: www.wired.com/story/ice-de... w/ @dell.bsky.social

NEW: A requirement that ICE agents ensure courthouse arrests don't clash with state and local laws has been rescinded by the agency. ICE declined to explain what that means for future enforcement. W/ @dell.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/ice-qu...

ICYMI: The U.S. government has been swabbing the cheeks of migrant kids and teens — and sending their DNA to an FBI criminal database. Tens of thousands of teenagers and kids. At least one was just 4 years old. Their DNA is stored indefinitely. www.wired.com/story/cbp-dn...

This is the embodiment of racist government overreach. POGO has been concerned about this kind of biometric surveillance for years. The federal government should stop collecting migrant children's DNA immediately.

My @wired.com colleagues reporting continues to astound me. These SCOOPS were all JUST YESTERDAY: • Migrant children's DNA stored in criminal database • DOGE leader Nicole Hollander is leaving • Former DOGE staffer on how the group was run • Trump visa ban could derail US AI efforts Links below

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has swabbed the DNA of migrant children as young as 4. Their genetic data is uploaded to an FBI database that can track them if they commit crimes in the future. Insane dystopia scoop from @dmehro.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/cbp-dn...

Forgot to mention that this one has no paywall as part of our public records policy. But nevertheless subscribe to WIRED

NEW: The US government has collected DNA from over 100,000 migrant children—including a 4-year-old—and uploaded their genetic profiles into a national biometric database meant for sex offenders and violent criminals. www.wired.com/story/cbp-dn...

Just an update to the below skeet: Turns out Palantir also hands out a separate subdomains to its Government clients. Here’s a look at specifically Palantir gov subdomains: public.flourish.studio/visualisatio...

For 7 years, Akasha Song ran secret labs that produced tens of millions of doses of DMT—one of the world's most potent psychedelic substances—and made a fortune selling it on the dark web. His story, in this 13,000-word piece, is one of the wildest I've ever told: www.wired.com/story/rise-f... 🧵👇

How far have 3D-printed ghost guns come in the past 10 years? Have US gun laws caught up? @agreenberg.bsky.social recreated the exact clone of the partially 3D-printed gun that Luigi Mangione allegedly used to kill the UnitedHealthcare CEO. And making it was easier than ever. 🧵
