Oh, and Mikkelsen denies that he was looking for work and said he'd planned a two-month vacation with friends and his mother.

This is a document CBP officers handed Mads Mikkelsen, the 21-year-old who was denied entry to the US after agents found a JD Vance meme on his phone. Officially, CBP said that he was denied bc of drug use, but wrote on a signed doc that he was looking for unauthorized work (no).

Anyway, the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, and ICE did not respond to any of my inquiries.

I interviewed UCLA journalists who spoke on the condition of anonymity last year, and they told me they were too scared to be seen near the protests, even while reporting.

Only 14 congresspeople signed this letter calling for the release of Mahmoud Khalil

As a @Columbia faculty member, I am disgusted and appalled by the university collaborating with the Department of Homeland Security & ICE to detain CU grad and Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil. He is a legal US resident with a wife who is 8 months pregnant. Despicable conduct

@tweetlepie @TheBunnyMuseum @hyperallergic It would be great if you could email them to isa(at)hyperallergic(dot)com! Thank you so much

@isapizza60 @TheBunnyMuseum @hyperallergic I did take these photos! You're welcome to use all of them. I can email them to you too if you'd like, I have a couple more pictures you can have too.

Devastating that The Bunny Museum burnt down, very honored that I could have experienced it and all the unique charm it had to offer during its legacy.

@FordFischer Hi, I'm a reporter for @hyperallergic. Did you take this video, and if so can I use it and credit you in an article?
