Epstein Files: X Users Are Asking Grok to 'Unblur' Photos of Children - bellingcat Bellingcat reviewed dozens of requests for Grok to generate the faces of children and women that had been redacted from the latest documents.

Epstein, explained Victoria Hervey, β€œknew everybody and was very powerful…. So, like, if you were on the scene and you were powerful, like, to be honest, like, if you’re not in those files, it would be an insult. Because it just means you were a bit of a loser.” www.businessday.co.za/opinion/2026...

Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

Less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by ICE in Trump's first year back had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses, according to an internal DHS document obtained by CBS News β€” undermining the admin's claim that they're primarily targeting dangerous and violent criminals.
