“Convicted criminals sprawl on feather beds while an innocent teen is curled up on a cement floor. The idea of justice eludes even the people who are following the letter of the law and want nothing more than to live peacefully in this country”

New — I wrote about the injustice unfolding before our eyes as rich reality stars are pardoned for their crimes while law-abiding immigrants are rounded up and caged by ICE, and the way communities are rising up to say fuck no.

NEW: ICE has quietly rescinded a policy requiring agents to ensure courthouse raids don't clash with state and local laws. WIRED detected the missing language in a superseding memo posted to ICE's website this week. by me and @dmehro.bsky.social:

New: A Guatemalan man who said he was deported to Mexico despite fearing he would be persecuted there was flown back to the United States on Wednesday after a judge ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his return, his lawyer said. www.reuters.com/world/us/gua...

Adam Jentleson once berated me in a room full of his colleagues because I had an accurate story he didn't want to confirm to me because he didn't like how I would frame it and screamed that I couldn't possibly know what he knows and that my career would be over if I ran with it. Get over yourself.

Everyone should be following Gwynne's crucial coverage of the disgusting stuff ICE has been doing at NYC immigration court:

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

As one masked agent leaves Elk street office, he's tailed by an activist (also wearing mask) "only way this nazi can get a hard on is to take people from their families and deport them."

every quote i see from this event is better than the one before

OUR POSTING IS SO POWERFUL

Chicago:

NEW: In April, 7 abortion providers traveled to Texas. Prior to their trip, they were required to submit a list of abortions they provided in the past year. This wasn't some new Texas law—it was a requirement of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. My first story for @autonomynews.co

did he try calling katie miller?

Then why was ICE there? The gaslighting by the mayor and law enforcement is astonishing.

NYC mayoral debate tonight at 7pm ET. I'm planning to live-post throughout, so set a reminder for yourself if that sounds at all interesting. You can watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVp4...
