If USA Today is indeed unilaterally putting source interviews in some sort of database, in their entirety, allowing them to be cherry-picked by other reporters—and *AI*(!!)—that is journalistically indefensible and no one should ever talk to them again. Is this true? Is it Gannett wide?

In the nine months since St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her took office, she has been accused of inappropriate workplace behavior and sued by her own chief of police. Now she’s the subject of an independent report that uses the word “wiener” so many times, it no longer looks like a real word.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Despite 1st Circuit's 9/18 ruling invalidating DHS's 3d-country removal policy, DHS claims the decision hasn't yet taken effect. Class counsel fears a flight will take class members to Burundi, Rwanda, & Central African Republic *tomorrow.* Asks 1st Cir for emergency action.
Plaintiffs-Appellants seek an emergency order clarifying that this
Court's September 18, 2026 decision is in effect as binding precedent and that this Court's March 16, 2026, stay "pending appeal" has been dissolved
now that the Court has issued its decision and judgment. In the alternative,
Plaintiffs-Appellants request the Court either issue an order lifting the
March 16, 2026 stay or issue the mandate. Emergency action is needed because Plaintiffs-Appellants have learned that Defendants-Appellees are proceeding with removing class members to third countries in Africa,
pursuant to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) guidance which
this Court found unlawful and set aside, tomorrow. In response to an email
from class counsel, Defendants-Appellees' counsel confirmed in a 5:14 p.m.
email today that their position is that this Court's stay remains in effect until
the mandate is issued. Exhibit A. In addition, counsel for Defendants-
