He reported a stolen car. Then ICE arrested him at a police station, he says.
DC police face criticism for allegedly assisting ICE in arresting immigrants at police stations
When Jose Argueta reported his car stolen, he did not realize that he would end up at an immigrant detention center.
Argueta’s account — part of a lawsuit over warrantless ICE arrests — renews concerns over local police’s cooperation with the agency.

College Campuses Are in Upheaval Over Faculty Ties to Epstein
From small art schools to large public universities, the new DOJ release of emails reveals just how deep the financier’s influence in academia went. Students are demanding accountability.
The Epstein documents released weeks ago are full of university administrators, professors, and trustees. With students demanding transparency and accountability from their schools, academia faces a nationwide reckoning over how it courts and indulges deep-pocketed benefactors.

Last fall, I reported about how much of a shitshow self-deportations + voluntary departures have been. Immigration lawyers alleged that DHS indicated to minors that their family members in the US could be arrested/deported if they didn’t agree to leave “voluntarily”

Trump Admin's Plans for $500 Million USIP Building May Violate Court Order, Say Former Workers
The State Department is poised to take over a building DOGE seized from the US Institute of Peace, former staffers claim—possibly for Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace.”
Today, Trump hosted the first meeting of the so-called Board of Peace at the building that served as the headquarters for the US Institute for Peace. But that building is still the subject of a major court case after being forcibly taken over by DOGE last year.

Those would include IRL appts for non-citizens like foreign students or guardians accompanying US citizens (eg: kids) to appointments.
