The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

Trump has been hiding his Russian diesel deal for over a month: the deal was announced yesterday, but it was likely agreed when Witkoff and Kushner visited the Kremlin on 5th September. While Trump was signing the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 on 18th September,…

There are some bases where the IDF were active previously but have since apparently left. This includes one long-time occupied base along the "Philadelphi Corridor" and one a bit further north of Rafah in the Msabbeh area. The temporary structures have disappeared, though the comms pylons remain.

ICE appears to be using the parking lot of the Roxbury warehouse for processing and brief detention, and at least once appears to have taken people inside. But also, read this inside look from a federal contractor about how everyone knew the warehouse plan was insane but Miller demanded inhumanity.
NPR spoke to an official at a government contractor whose company was approached to convert several of the warehouses into ICE facilities. He spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation from the government.

"No one that we spoke to at DHS was for this idea whatsoever. The deputy director told us point-blank that they had pushed back very hard on it. Everybody knew warehouses are horrible places to put people," he says.

At a meeting with a deputy director at DHS, he says, his company proposed an alternative: FEMA-style camps in Texas that would be more humane.

He says that idea was swiftly shot down. While White House adviser Stephen Miller was not at the meeting, they were told that this was not what Miller wanted.

The contractor says his understanding from that meeting was that "Miller did not want the facilities that were comfortable. He did not want facilities that were humane. We were told point-blank that that was not what the administration wanted."

"Steve Miller certainly seemed to make that point to everyone that he wanted it to be cruel. This was what Miller had stated to the DHS at that time, to the DHS director and deputy director. What surprised me was just how adamant the people were that it was going to happen. Damn the consequences. I would say in 25 years of working with the U.S. government, I've never been in that position before."

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.
The Trump administration says none of this is happening. 

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children." 

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

Freedom of the Press Foundation's Seth Stern torches the "editorial independence board" in the Paramount settlement. "The fish rots from the head, and this particular fish is headed by a compromised oligarch with a history of throwing journalists under the bus to advance his business interests."
“A Paramount-appointed editorial independence board for CNN and CBS is worthless. The fish rots from the head, and this particular fish is headed by a compromised oligarch with a history of throwing journalists under the bus to advance his business interests. 

“The editorial board creates the same First Amendment problems it’s supposed to solve — the government meddling in the news. It’s unclear how the attorneys general or courts can constitutionally hold Paramount accountable for the board’s actions or inaction without themselves interfering in content. The attorneys general might be fine with censorship when they’re the ones doing it, but what happens when successors with opposing political views inherit enforcement powers? 

“And with respect to CBS, the editorial board makes even less sense. Ellison already traded away CBS’ editorial independence in his negotiations with Federal Communications Commission Chair and Trump loyalist Brendan Carr, hiring a career partisan as a “bias ombudsman” and committing in regulatory submissions to truthful and unbiased reporting — practically the same words Bonta uttered at his shameful press conference. To Carr, of course, that means reporting that is uncritical of the administration. 

“Carr has said that he’d attempt to punish failure to abide by those terms, as he interprets them, as false statements to a federal agency. Bonta says his agreement is enforceable in court. So who will decide whether the news is fair, true, and unbiased? Will it be Carr, the bias ombudsman, the attorneys general, or the editorial board? 

“Ultimately, the answer is Ellison, and by extension his buddy Donald Trump.”

This is APPALLING. The Trump administration is detaining multiple random Somali immigrants with no criminal record at Guantanamo Bay, seemingly because the White House ordered ICE specifically to detain Somalis at Gitmo as part of its effort to punish an ethnic group Trump has attacked.
According to Mohamed, guards at Guantanamo have said they are being held there because that's what officials in Washington, DC, want. "There's no other nation, only Somali people in Guantanamo Bay, in the prison," he told me. "And when we ask them why we are here, they tell us... Washington...ordered to keep Somali people in the Guantanamo Bay."

I have NEVER, in more than a decade in this field, heard of the Board of Immigration Appeals deciding a complex case like this in 24 hours. And neither has Charles Adkins-Blanch, who served on the Board for two decades, and knows its processes inside and out. This whole thing STINKS to high heaven.
Immigration judges work for the Justice Department, not the independent judicial branch, meaning they can be hired and fired by administration officials. By law they are required to decide cases using their “independent judgment and discretion.”
Former appellate immigration judges said that even if the Serrano case had been fast-tracked, a complex appeal like his would normally have taken weeks to decide, not a single day.
“I can’t recall a case ever moving that quickly,” said Charles Adkins-Blanch, who was appointed to the immigration appeals board under President George W. Bush and later served as its vice chairman. “It’s highly unusual.”

The timing is damning. Less than 24 hours after the briefing was submitted in his appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals, the Board overturned Mr. Serrano's torture protections, despite extensive evidence. Five hours later, he was on a deportation flight, with the Ecuadorean media tipped off.
Then, at 4:06 p.m. on Aug. 27, the Homeland Security Department filed its written argument to the immigration appeals board, court records show.
At 3:12 p.m. the next day, a panel of three appellate immigration judges unanimously reversed the lower court, saying they did not find it likely that Mr. Serrano would be tortured in Ecuador.
The judges said that the physical harm suffered by Mr. Glas did not qualify as torture because it had not been shown to have been “intentionally inflicted with the specific intent to inflict severe pain or suffering.” They also noted that the Ecuadorean government had not been proven responsible for the deaths of the other suspects in Mr. Villavicencio’s assassination.
The judge who wrote the opinion, Keith Hunsucker, has close ties to the Trump administration. For several months, he served as the acting chief judge for the immigration court system.
Mr. Hunsucker did not respond to a request for comment.
Within five hours of the appeals board ruling, court records show, Mr. Serrano was on a plane back to Ecuador, where his arrival was broadcast online. Mr. Noboa said that Mr. Serrano was being held in El Encuentro, a prison modeled after El Salvador’s notorious CECOT detention center.
