"detention feels like torture, and for me, it was only three days. Many women in those cells had been in the system for months, even a year."

I spoke with Any Lucía López Belloza, the Babson College student who was on her way to surprise her family for Thanksgiving when ICE deported her.

"My 5-year-old sister still believes that I might go home for Christmas," she tells me.

“Ticking Time Bomb”: A Pregnant Mother Kept Getting Sicker. She Died After She Couldn’t Get an Abortion in Texas. Walker is one of several women ProPublica found with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

NEW:

In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant.

She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.

Then she died.

As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

Trump's winning 2024 coalition has evaporated Claims of a conservative realignment of non-whites, the working class, and young voters have been highly exaggerated

Dem gains in this week's elections erased the inroads Trump made with non-white, young, and low-income voters in 2024. In fact, the R-to-D shift from 24 to 25 is double Trump's gains from 20-24. Claims of a GOP political realignment have been highly exaggerated

Your U.S. Citizenship Will Not Protect You Jarring videos show how ICE’s reign of terror is ensnaring more and more Americans across the country.

Wrote about how ICE’s reign of terror increasingly extends to U.S. citizens, showing the extent of state-sanctioned violence under the Trump administration and how little regard immigration-enforcement agents have for the rule of law.
