In response to one X post, saying, “Austin ISD let kids out of school, with a police escort to, protest ICE at the Capitol” – Abbott responded, “AISD gets taxpayer dollars to teach the subjects required by the state, not to help students skip school to protest.”

AISD shared in letters to parents and on social media that the walkouts were not sponsored or endorsed by the school. In the message, the district said it would not stop students from participating and had officers present to assist with security.

Although the appendix listed 74 cases with 96 separate violations, Schiltz wrote that the "extent of ICE's noncompliance is almost certainly substantially understated. This list is confined to orders issued since January 1, 2026, and the list was hurriedly compiled by extraordinarily busy judges."

The forum comes while Martinez is fighting for evidence in her own case to be released to the public, citing public interest after the killing of Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by federal agents and what they describe as the government’s continued misinformation about her case, according to court documents

Wealthy people don't seem to think of money as money. It's certainly not lack for material needs or luxury that drives them. At a certain point of wealth, what is being pursued seems not to be wealth, but the ability to make other people suffer. What's being pursued is immunity from human decency; the ability and even the right to be depraved with impunity.

The app is named Mobile Fortify. Simply pointing a phone’s camera at their intended target and scanning the person’s face allows Mobile Fortify to pull data on an individual from multiple federal and state databases, some of which federal courts have deemed too inaccurate for arrest warrants.

Republican lawmakers in Kansas are trying to ram through an anti-trans bathroom ban by including it in a bill that previously only related to whether trans people could change their gender markers on their driver’s licenses.

As the Kansas Reflector reports, Republicans on the state’s House Judiciary Committee voted earlier this week to approve an amendment to House Bill 2426 introduced by Rep. Bob Lewis (R). In its original form, H.B. 2426 would have required Kansas driver’s licenses and birth certificates to indicate a person’s sex assigned at birth, regardless of their gender identity. That version of the bill was opposed by more than 200 people who showed up to a House Judiciary Committee meeting earlier this month, even though the bill only appeared on the committee’s agenda 24 hours before.

But prior to Monday night’s hearing, the committee gave no public notice that it would be taking action on the bill or that it would consider the bathroom ban, according to the Reflector.

“They mix baby formula with water that is putrid. The food has bugs in it. The guards are often verbally abusive,” Lee told Minnesota Public Radio on Monday. “One of my clients had appendicitis, collapsed in the hallway, was vomiting from pain, and the officials told him, ‘Take a Tylenol and come back in three days.’”

Over Trump’s past year, what originally looked like an effort to make the government his personal plaything has drifted distinctly toward doctrinal and operational fascism. Trump’s appetite for lebensraum, his claim of unlimited power, his support for the global far right, his politicization of the justice system, his deployment of performative brutality, his ostentatious violation of rights, his creation of a national paramilitary police—all of those developments bespeak something more purposeful and sinister than run-of-the-mill greed or gangsterism.

Worried about losing unified Republican power in Washington and mystified at his lack of support among the public, President Donald Trump keeps talking about not holding the November midterm elections, when Republicans could lose control of the House, Senate or both.

But the Daily Beast has discovered that information about many hundreds of ICE staff is accessible to anyone who signs up to the recruitment website.

The site—which the Beast is not naming to avoid identifying any ICE officials—is targeted at recruiters and HR specialists. It uses AI to pull data from across the internet—including LinkedIn and other websites, and social media—about employees from various large organizations.

ICE workers listed on the site include senior managers in the technical, operations, and legal departments, as well as details of on-the-ground agents and office-based deportation officers. Analysis by the Beast suggests that many still appear to be employed by ICE.

The website lists their names, job titles, locations, experience, as well as sensitive work and personal emails and telephone numbers, plus links to their LinkedIn and other social media accounts.

Participants in the rapid response networks in the Twin Cities describe their experiences and reflect on how these neworks could contribute to revolutionary social change.

At least 120 cities plan to hold actions in solidarity with the Minneapolis General Strike.

On Monday, January 5, APD officers responded to a disturbance call at 4:35 a.m. in the 6100 block of Blue Stem Trail, a West Oak Hill Austin neighborhood, according to a statement from police. Although they found no ongoing disturbance, officers identified a woman with an Administrative Warrant issued by ICE.

APD officers notified ICE, under its Detainer Request policy, GO 318.3.4, and federal authorities arrived and took custody of the woman and her child. The incident caused many Austin community members to question APD's involvement in ICE cases as fears of heightened federal immigration operations continue to ramp up across Texas and the U.S.

"Given APD's role in the separation of Génesis and her family, the Austin community deserves immediate transparency from the Austin Police Department," the group said.

Renee Good was still alive for nearly 20 minutes after being shot. When the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

In the recording, which the daughter shared with The Washington Post, the employee said a doctor there “is listing the preliminary cause of death as asphyxia due to neck and chest compression,” which means Lunas Campos did not get enough oxygen because of pressure on his neck and chest. Pending the results of a toxicology report, the staffer said on the recording, “our doctor is believing that we’re going to be listing the manner of death as homicide.”

A 55-year-old Cuban immigrant, Lunas Campos died following a struggle with detention staff, according to an eyewitness account and an internal ICE document reviewed by The Post.
