Multiple ICE agents aggressively tackled a man to the ground Wednesday night in Naples, Florida, in an arrest that quickly spiraled out of control. During the struggle, they broke his ribs then pointed a weapon at onlookers. Status Coup's Phillip Hawkins breaks it all down.

Black-and-white ink cartoon of a huge wooden Trojan horse on wheels labeled “Generative AI.” A tiny ancient Greek soldier stands beside it holding a spear. At his feet is a small empty water trough. Looking up at the enormous horse, he says, “We’re gonna need a bigger trough.” The cartoon uses the Trojan horse and the undersized trough to evoke questions about generative AI’s water demands and the less visible consequences of allowing it into everyday life.
