How an immigrant’s path through a detention black hole ended in WA Albert Khamitov, a man from Russia, broke no laws when he came to the U.S. He was then locked in ICE facilities for over a year, including one in Tacoma.

In Alaska: "Khamitov said he faced some of the worst conditions of all, including too little food, overcrowded cells and toilets that flushed only twice an hour."

Kerr County did not use its most far-reaching alert system in deadly Texas floods Local officials used the system more than two days after the recorded height of the floods.

Exclusive: Kerr County, where nearly 100 people were killed and more than 160 remain missing, had the technology to turn every cellphone in the area into a blaring alarm, but officials did not do so before or during the river level rising to record heights.

US deportations raise serious human rights concerns The UN Human Rights High Commissioner Volker Türk has voiced concern over the recent deportation of large numbers of non-nationals from the United States, particularly to third countries.
