UPDATE: Red Line: Trains are now single tracking between NoMa-Gallaudet and Fort Totten due to a switch problem outside Rhode Island Avenue. Customers will continue to experience delays in both directions.




My final story for The Washington Post is about the first third country deportation flight from the U.S. to Ghana. I spoke to two people who were on that Sept. 5-6 flight, including a woman from Togo who fled the country in 2024 to escape FGM. wapo.st/4dvSWHn

The U.S. will start revoking passports this week for parents who owe $100,000 or more in child support and soon will expand the policy. apnews.com/article/passpo…

Homeowner waits until construction job is nearly done—then calls ICE on 6 of her own workers. Woman even provides the ladder used by agent to detain men—who she owes $10,000 for 3 day job. "She called the damn law on us and now we're totally screwed!" men yell in Spanish. "They surrounded us!—They surrounded us!" Agents even left behind the workers' van with doors wide open—filled with thousands of dollars worth of tools. The arrest was broadcast live for about 30 minutes by a co-worker—identified as Bryan Polanco. "Seeing it is not the same as experiencing it," he explains. "I’ve seen many videos, and sadly today I had to experience it." At the end of the video he gets the woman who called ICE on camera: "It is the same woman. Tidying up the house, and still with hatred in her heart." The incident occurred in Cambridge, Maryland.

I was the only member of Congress allowed inside, and the viral video is real—ICE is holding people in a 12-hour Baltimore facility for days on end, without showers, adequate food, or basic human dignity. This is unacceptable and un-American.
