ICE Issued Confident Announcements About Warehouse Purchases in Two States. Neither Was True. As the beleaguered agency rushes to open detention facilities across the country, it can't seem to get its own announcements right.

UPDATE: ICE confirms — and then quickly denies — buying a warehouse in Roxbury, NJ. They claim they sent a sale announcement email to a writer at Gothamist by mistake.

This marks the third retraction ICE has issued today.

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

There’s a lot to investigate and report on from today’s stunning deposition of Les Wexner. But here’s something I can’t get over.

I asked Mr. Wexner if the DOJ or FBI ever contacted him to ask him about Epstein and his crimes. He said NO. That’s outrageous and unforgivable.

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

"Was Trump involved in Epstein's crimes?"

Yes: 50%
No: 30%

The RNC filed a lawsuit in Michigan to rip away the voting rights of military families. What an insult to the brave men and women who defend America and sacrifice so much to keep us safe.

We’re fighting back in the courts.

A screenshot showing 20,659 Habeas cases filed since Jan 2025

A screenshot showing a chart of cases filed by week by state. Texas was the highest, but the most recent trend line is pointing sharply down.

The number of habeas cases filed has gone up about 2,000 since we published our tracker last week. After the recent 5th circuit ruling on detention though, the number of cases filed in Texas dropped off quite a bit. projects.propublica.org/habeas-track...

So you do this thing where you speak about Covid as though the pandemic is over. Wastewater testing data shows that the numbers are peaking as high as they ever were during “the worst of the pandemic”. It’s not over. Please stop reinforcing the ongoing public health catastrophe?

Every day reveals a new travesty caused by DHS

“ICE has blamed Castañeda Mondragón for his own injuries, saying..[he] ’fell and hit his head against a concrete wall’”

“A CT scan showed fractures to the front, back and both sides of his skull-injuries a doctor [said] were inconsistent with a fall”

This is the reason behind the Trump
administration’s intense desire to ban Talarico content.

If they lose the evangelicals, they lose all their power.

Trump is very underwater on immigration.

There is no reason for Dems to cave on ICE funding.
