Just want to flag that we have observed something similar to what @obtusatum.bsky.social noted below. ICE has ~tripled the detained population at Dilley over the last 4 months.

Oct. 01-Nov. 10: 457 avg. detainees per day
Dec. 27-Jan 22: 1,332 avg. detainees per day

Minnesota girl, 10, released from ICE custody after a month in detention Elizabeth Zuna Caisaguano and her mother released from Texas facility to head back to Minnesota to reunite with her father

Elizabeth, a 10-year-old Minnesota girl, spent a month detained at the ICE facility in Dilley, TX before her release last night w/ her mom.

Dilley now has a measles outbreak and hundreds of other kids remain detained. Elizabeth has flu-like symptoms and her mom has hives, a school official told me

Oh man this movie was so bad. Why was it shot and staged like a marvel movie??

Please contribute to this GoFundMe to support the hundreds of my talented Washington Post colleagues laid off today.

I am heartbroken. I stand with them in their fight for fair treatment through the layoffs. I am honored to have worked alongside them.

Here's who the Washington Post just laid off.

The layoffs at WaPo also hit their software engineers. Its a tricky situation because they were negotiating their first contract. They worked diligently for years and organized the second largest software engineering union in the country. Just awful

Everyone who works at the Washington Post does so because they believe in the mission of journalism. This shit sucks so much

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.

If you are able, The Post's union has started a layoff fund for those fired by the world's fourth-richest man today. gofund.me/a310d0286

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

Washington Post Begins Sweeping Layoffs

NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning.

Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section.

Our latest, which follows the Guardian investigation we did in 2024. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘A smear campaign’ Immigration officials said agent shot two ‘vicious gang members’ in Portland, but records obtained by the Guardian reveal US prosecutor contradicted claims

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.

But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

The average daily population at Dilley, the family detention center that held 5-year-old Liam Ramos, is up to 867, according to new federal data.

There's currently active cases of measles at Dilley and lawyers say their clients are on lockdown.

(h/t @geoffhing.bsky.social who pulled data)

ICE Is Deporting Thousands With Minor Offenses — From Traffic Violations to Weed Possession Many people with little or no criminal record have been swept into the administration’s immigration dragnet since January, an analysis of deportation data shows.

Also worth remembering what it means for those who fall into the category of having prior convictions. www.themarshallproject.org/2025/08/15/i...

And, while it's important to continue to understand who's in immigration detention, I often worry that continuing to point out the percentages of those with no past or pending convictions galvanizes a conflation of the immigration and criminal legal systems.

its.... very frustrating

I'm going to update it soon, but the delay messes with the way we are graphing it, we'll try and figure out a solution tomorrow

After a few weeks delay, ICE just released new detention statistics. They show 70,766 people in detention as of 1/26/2026. I believe this is the first time this data source has reported a detained population over 70k.

I mean, have you read the news recently?

It seems like DHS hasn't updated the detention management statistics page since Jan 8. Outside of the government shutdown, DHS updated that page every two weeks

Be safe friend. Keep up the great work

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

True :(

I don't understand the logic of which Premier League games I'm allowed to watch on peacock. I just wanted to watch the arsenal game :(
