DHS has been conducting new interviews with refugees who were already vetted & admitted into the US. According to a former USCIS source with knowledge, Stephen Miller handpicked lawyers to review the re-interviews because "too many people were being reaffirmed as refugees."

This bombshell report from @romangressier comes at a time when Consuelo Porras & a network of supporters who wld profit from her continued influence in Guate are lobbying the Trump Admin. One ask (among others): to remove her from US sanctions list, which she's on for corruption
El Faro English@elfaroenglish

NEW: El Faro obtained documents confirming Guatemala’s current AG signed papers in at least eight irregular adoptions in the early 1980s. This year, a record of the position in which she signed off on them is absent from her reelection portfolio. beta.elfaro.net/en/central-ame…

"The stakes are literally life and death" Lower courts blocked DHS efforts to roll back protected status for citizens of countries deemed high-risk; Sec. Noem claimed conditions had improved and the change was in US interest. SCOTUS will hear arguments next month bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

A rookie ICE agent fresh out of the Trump administration’s abbreviated basic training program made critical errors in paperwork that became the government’s justification for detaining a California man for days in December, federal court records show. wapo.st/3Nj8owl

My Comment in this week's @NewYorker: Trump's immigration agenda, which hinges on mass detention, has caused a humanitarian & legal crisis. Deaths in custody; abuse & neglect of detainees; detention w/o bond; judges' orders ignored. The list goes on... newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

ICE is buying warehouses across America and calling them detention centers. But there's a problem no one in the federal government seems to want to answer: where does the water come from? A thread. 🧵

We don’t yet know if Estefany Rodríguez’s detention was in retaliation for her reporting but we certainly wouldn’t be surprised. ICE abductions of noncitizen journalists take the reporters best equipped to cover immigration enforcement off the beat. nashvillebanner.com/2026/03/05/jou…
