When Trump launched “the largest deportation operation in the history of our country” without ICE facilities to accommodate it, inhumane overcrowding was inevitable. Judge Kaplan’s 9/24 ruling shows the results. Diagrams simulating a NYC holding cell in Aug 2025 look like slave ships. 1/5

The lawyer for the Venezuelan man shot by ICE yesterday says he was discharged from the hospital and transferred to ICE detention while the bullet was still inside of him, and that in Pearsall he's not received any pain meds and was forced to sleep on the floor.

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."

Over 170,00 Salvadorans were set to lose TPS today, a status they've had for 25 years. But DHS hasn't made any announcement about termination or extension. Now this vague comment was given to reporters, the only public info. A shocking level of callousness over a decision which affects so many.

#BREAKING Overnight : 
@DHSgov
 tells me that #TPS recipients from El Salvador will continue to have protections until a decision is made about the program. Those protections were set to expire today. This will likely be a small relief to about 200,000 in the U.S.
