Local police, often county sheriffs, are playing a larger role in immigration than they have before, through a program where they partner with ICE. More than 600 police agencies have signed on in 40 states. One expert I spoke to called its growth "astonishing."

Private prisons and local jails are ramping up as ICE detention exceeds capacity
The number of people in ICE detention has grown, and detention facilities are over capacity. So the government is intensifying its hunt for more space, and local police are playing a bigger role.

Are you a US researcher who has recently moved to Canada because of the Trump disruption to science (or are you in the process of doing so)? I want to talk to you for a story in @nature.com 🧪

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

I heard that some of you people prefer to receive your snarky science fact-checking of viral news stories in meme format, and I am here to help.
