Undocumented immigrants with no other criminal record have been transferred to Guantanamo. Access to lawyers, denied. Their families kept in the dark. Why were they taken from the U.S. and moved to a prison designed for terrorists? Unclear. Evidence suggests it might be because of their tattoos.

The Trump administration has flown about 100 immigrants to Guantanamo Bay. Perla Trevizo and I identified nearly a dozen of them and spoke to relatives of three of them. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Trump and Elon Musk all but dismantled USAID. It took them less than a month. It's an unprecedented test of the checks and balances at the heart of the American system of government. The must-read inside story, from @annamaria.bsky.social and Brett Murphy. www.propublica.org/article/usai...

NEW: Organizations that provide vital, lifesaving care for desperate and vulnerable people around the world have been forced to halt operations, turn away patients and lay off staff. “I’ve never seen anything that scares me as much as this,” one doctor said.

Trump has pardoned about 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants and commuted the sentences of leaders of militias such as the Oath Keepers. If you haven't, it's worth taking the time to read or listen to @josh-kaplan.bsky.social's story. ⤵️

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.
