ICE took Luis and his son Andrés into custody together. Then, the agency separated them transferring the boy as "unaccompanied" to ORR, which cares for migrant kids with no parent or legal guardian. Andrés ended up in foster care. The new interior family separations w/ @samanthamichaels.bsky.social:

The 988 hotline’s LGBTQ+ youth service is back, over a year after the Trump admin shut it down. LGBTQ+ youth can once again press 3 after calling 988 to talk with specially trained counselors. This is what it looked like when the service stopped last year — partially in June, then fully in July.
This image shows an area chart demonstrating that calls, texts or chats to 988 by LGBTQ+ youth seeking specialized services through "option 3" rose continuously from September 2022 to July 2025 — then suddenly dropped down to zero, since the option was discontinued. The visualization looks like a cliff.

When federal agents fatally shot the US citizen protesters Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis in January during the nation’s largest immigration-enforcement operation ever, it marked a turning point for the second Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign. 🧵
Children look at posters honoring Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good, who were fatally shot by federal immigration agents in separate incidents on January 24 and January 7, respectively, near the site of Pretti’s death, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S., January 31, 2026.

Public backlash against ICE climaxed after the January 2026 fatal shootings of two US citizens in Minneapolis. Since then, stealthier arrest operations have fueled enforcement that is quieter but just as ruthless. The 24 hours between the mornings of July 13-14 stand out as exceptionally deadly. 🧵
