Another Africa ICE removal underway, via a private jet operated by Journey Aviation. Like Journey’s ICE trip to Liberia last week, this is likely a third-country removal.
In the six weeks the South Sudan 7 were stuck in Djibouti, this aircraft was used to swap out ICE guards every few weeks.

“Every single person in the Epstein emails should be removed and excluded from positions of any power forever” would be a good op-ed, but probably won’t appear in the NYT. Even more importantly, it would be a good political party platform, but that probably won’t happen either

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."

Look, I know we’re all rightfully pissed about the current Epstein stuff, but you should really set aside some time and read this piece. There’s a reason “mitigating the effects of climate change” is one of my key policy positions.

“By cutting aid for permanent housing by 2/3 next year, the plan risks a sudden end of support… beginning as soon as January. All are disabled — a condition of the aid — and many are 50 or older. The document does not explain how they would find housing.”
This is far worse than anyone expected.
Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.
