Megan Garcia, testifying in the Senate: My son was exploited and sexually groomed by chatbots designed by a company that made them seem human. In a reckless race for profit share, Character AI treated my son's life as collateral damage.

Important work from my colleagues at @techjusticelaw.bsky.social holding AI companies accountable for the devastation they produce.

I'm thankful to my team @anntastic.bsky.social @candacewhite.bsky.social @cristianfarias.com for guiding this storytelling.

We must keep talking about the immigrant communities that ICE continues to target. We must understand and document ICE behaviors so that we can meaningfully resist.

Institute Files New FOIA Request for Records About ICE’s Courthouse Arrest Policy

My colleagues @allieschiele.bsky.social @katiefallow.bsky.social @stephaniekrent.bsky.social filed a FOIA request to learn more about ICE's controversial (if you ask me, utterly inhumane and depraved) practices at courthouses.

I'm both honored to have been able to work on this episode, and enraged at the subject matter we are documenting. As @bradlander.bsky.social explains about ICE: "They’re just using the courts as a fishing expedition, a place to find people in order to abduct and detain them."

AAUP v. Rubio, Daily Trial Updates

I'm finding the Knight Institute's daily trial updates to be really helpful in keeping up with the case. Check them out here if you're interested in following one of the biggest cases to challenge the second Trump administration's immigration policies thus far: knightcolumbia.org/content/aaup...

I'm really lucky to work with lawyers @knightcolumbia.org challenging the Trump administration’s policy of ideological deportation in court this week. Among other highlights in testimony, DHS revealed that it used Canary Mission to find and investigate folks they targeted for deportation.
