“At a press conference, Espaillat said that he attempted to visit the shooting victim in the hospital, but was prevented from doing so by federal authorities. ‘I went to the hospital to see the victim,’ Espaillat said, ‘but we were not allowed by ICE agents to go in the room.’”

A reminder as fall approaches (in the northern hemisphere) that leaf blowers (particularly gas-powered ones) are not only extremely noisy and polluting but also harm the habitats of many animal species and remove leaves that help protect plant roots and keep the soil healthy. Leave Leaves Alone!

A color graphic topped with the words "THESE ANIMALS ARE MADE POSSIBLE BY FALLEN LEAVES" and showing at center a color close-up photograph of a person's finger, on which is perched a tiny frog. Additional surrounding photographs show a small Ring Neck snake in someone's hand, an American Bumble Bee on a purple flower, a large green Luna Moth, a small brown and yellow Spotted Salamander, and a Fritillary or Checkerspot butterfly on a cone flower.

Text at the bottom reads, "LEAVE LEAVES ALONE. Don't blow! Leave the leaves in your planting beds and mow-mulch your leaves into the lawn. Use an electric blower if you must. www.healthyyards.org.

"Among the first to appear before the judge was Angel, a 13-year-old. He had no attorney. “Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” the judge asked “I don’t know,” Angel said, bursting into tears: “I have no one. I have nothing.” www.cnn.com/2026/09/28/p...

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

But an increasing proportion of arrests have been made by local law enforcement in partnership with ICE, via 287(g) agreements. In many regions, it can be difficult to know when local officers are conducting routine policework or immigration enforcement. In many cases, they are doing both.

A chart showing immigration arrests by local police, which have increased steadily since ICE's new enforcement strategy began in April 2026, reaching its highest amount above 200 arrests per day in late June 2026.

As has long been the case, ICE works with jails and prisons to take custody of immigrants after they have been booked in. Since Trump took office last year, only 46% of detainees have been previously convicted of crimes.

I can't confirm anything obviously but it is very suspicious to me as I'm not sure how else he would be selected like this other than these plate readers that scan who owns the vehicle and then most likely can be cross-referenced to some database. I'm scared for other people I know

It seems very likely to me they are collaborating with local law enforcement agents especially with Flock/Axiom car plate readers. Within past week someone I know was taken and unmarked vehicles were stationed around his work truck at his apartment. 0 criminal record and been here for 30 years.

Gone are the mass raids and militarized metro operations. Gone are the pomp and pageantry. But ICE arrests have hit record levels. ICE operations are no longer concentrated in large American cities. Immigration enforcement officials are also working in suburban and rural areas, all across the US.
