Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody.
She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.
We need to reform immigration detention.

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

Counterpoint: that kind of thing doesn't play as well in Minnesota as it does elsewhere. Politicians who shove their way to the front of a protest are perceived as trying to steal the thunder of the real organizers, and Minneapolis is a city of organizers. So a lot of local pols tend to hang back.
imagine seeing these ICE protests today and you as a potential governor or senator or national democratic candidate didn't push babies out of the way to get to the front of the march
yall really bad at retail politics and seizing the moment huh

One reason it was so irresponsible for ICE to keep its administrative warrant policy secret is the dangerous situation it creates: Advocacy groups advise people not to open doors without judicial warrants & ICE is trained to take that as unlawful resistance.
Appears that govt had not filed opposition papers, so precedential weight is limited. Details of Gibson’s case are provided by WaPo here;

How officers used new ICE memo to forcefully enter a Minneapolis home
Federal officers used an administrative warrant, signed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official, instead of a judicial warrant authorized by a judge.

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.
"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.
Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.

I just created a series of seven deep-dive videos about AI, which I've posted to youtube and now here. 😊
Targeted to laypeople, they explore how LLMs work, what they can do, and what impacts they have on learning, well-being, disinformation, the workplace, the economy, and the environment.

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.
I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

🎧 Gonna start a slowly evolving thread for my folk-funk faves
What’s folk-funk?
The foundational tracks were mostly released in the 70s
It’s jazz-adjacent, funk-inflected, & heavy on drum breaks, acoustic guitar, & groove
We start with a “founder” of folk-funk

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
