He's been a fraud for a long while now (probably his whole career back to NYPD, which pains me a bit to say because iirc he got his start calling out their racism), if he keeps trying to delegitimize the will of the voters like this we can start adding things like "tyrant" and "traitor" to his titles

I can't speak to the headline editor's intentions, but "detainees drop off the grid" seems like a lot less clear way of stating the substance of this situation than, for example, "ICE has stopped reporting on the status and location of over 1,000 detainees who were last seen in their custody at Alligator Auschwitz". Like, the subject of that sentence should be ICE because they are the ones doing something here, not the detainees.

I don't want to be too critical, I'm really glad this is being reported on, I can just imagine a conservative reading that headline and thinking "The illegals got out and hid somewheres even after we threw 'em in the swamp dungeon? Bah gawd, we need to crack down on these invaders even harder!"

e; fixed the capitalization on "detainees" to match the headline and added a second sentence to my first paragraph

Trump says

Have these killings been confirmed by any reputable sources?

Very important story, but super confusing headline. It doesn't seem that any of these people were ever formally released from ICE custody, so saying they dropped off the grid - like, they chose to disappear - seems totally unsupported.

What happened here is that they were disappeared by our government. We do not know where they are because of something that was done to them without their consent, and that should make any rational and decent person extremely concerned for these individuals' physical safety.

Yeah, they're probably the best large American news reporting organization left, but they are far far far from perfect and their biggest problem is they try to normalize and sanitize everything the United States does

If he had actually gotten connected with any decent left wing group - instead of just being stuck mostly alone in Utah to stew with his (totally understandable) anger at the things Kirk was saying - that group probably would have told him something like "bro, chill, shooting people is only going to make shit worse for everybody we care about, now wash these dishes instead so we can open the soup kitchen on time tonight, we got hungry neighbors"

I'm not trying to defend Meta, but where in the article does it say that private posts were shared publicly?

Third paragraph

One mother said her account was set to private, but the posts were automatically cross-posting to Threads where they were visible.

Also, he's psychologically (and probably intellectually) incapable of evaluating criticism as anything other than an attack on him personally, which is both pathetic and very dangerous. Literally no reasoning with these people.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 9 hours ago

Is there optimism dropping after Kirk's killing because they realize they've been sucked into a fascist political movement that's pressure cooking the entire country and provoking violent outbursts? Or are they on some "I am very sad that we will have to throw all the trans people into death camps" bullshit?

In a chaotic scene at an immigration detention facility in the Chicago suburbs, Illinois Democratic candidates running for Congress ~~said they~~ were tear-gassed, shot with pepper balls and shoved to the ground by federal agents on Friday while protesting against President Donald Trump's immigration surge into the city.

Fucking pathetic journalism when you can't even describe what you can see with your own eyes on recordings to your readers

I think the algorithm knew just enough to guess "hey that's a skirt and hey that's an exposed leg, and images with those things in them do really with certain customers, and since this was posted by an adult's account I should auto generate an ad with these images and show it to those customers" but not enough to realize "this is a picture of a child posted by their adult parent's account"

Stupid parents

Idgaf how stupid their parents are, kids should be protected from being fucking pimped out to sell meta's brainwashing trash

Is the picture sexual or not?

Give me a break, if we know fucking anything about human sexuality its that different people get aroused by different shit, and sometimes they get aroused by shit they shouldn't, like children

who cares how some guy looks at it

It feels worth noting here that what actually happened is a single 37 year old dude took it upon himself to call a newspaper and say "yo, Facebook is shoving a bunch of schoolgirls pictures in my face, no boys, just girls, like I think they expect me to be into it, and that feels wrong." There was no creepy man in this story, the only creep here was the algorithm.

[Stephen] Miller also told Vance on the podcast that there is a "vast domestic terror movement" of left-wing organizations promoting violence and doxxing people in order to trigger violence.

"With God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, disable and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people. It will happen, and we will do it in Charlie's name," Miller said.

Neither Vance nor Miller named any specific organizations that they were concerned about. They did not cite any information or reports that supported the claims of domestic terrorism or provide any other evidence.

Cox said the suspect’s partner was transgender, which some politicians have pointed to as a sign Robinson was targeting Kirk, the founder of Turning Points USA, for his anti-trans views. But authorities have not said whether it is relevant as they investigate Robinson’s motive.

The Republican governor added that Robinson is not cooperating with officials, but his roommate is. Cox described how the individual, whom he said was in a romantic relationship with Robinson, was “shocked” by the shooting and did not have any advanced knowledge of the attack.

There is “not a solid understanding” whether there was a connection between the gender identity of the roommate, whom Cox described as transitioning from male to female, and Robinson’s alleged shooting of Kirk, a conservative Christian who denied the legitimacy of transgender people, according to Cox.

In the wake of the shooting, allegations that Robinson’s roommate or partner is transgender prompted some in the MAGA movement to repeat the false, debunked claim that trans people are more likely to carry out gun violence.

Investigators are probing whether Robinson considered Kirk’s views on trans people to be “hateful,” Axios reports, as well as whether any local leftist groups knew of or assisted in the shooting plot.

In December 2024, the Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) conducted an unannounced inspection of [Federal Detention Center] SeaTac, Washington. The inspection was carried out under the new Federal Prison Oversight Act, which requires regular independent reviews of BOP facilities. The full report can be found here

Also here - https://web.archive.org/web/20250911115055/https://oig.justice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/25-081.pdf

FDC SeaTac houses men and women, both pretrial detainees and sentenced prisoners, and at the time of inspection had 660 people in custody—roughly two-thirds of its rated capacity. The despite being at less than capacity, the report reveals a facility buckling under the weight of a healthcare crisis, severe staffing shortages, and systemic safety lapses.

Nevada has agreed to pay $4.6 million to settle a lawsuit that accused prison guards of beating up a man and leaving him to die in 2023, a lawyer said Tuesday.

The medical examiner said Christian Walker’s death at High Desert State Prison near Las Vegas was natural and caused by heart problems. But the autopsy report showed that he had head trauma and other injuries to his torso, neck and extremities.

Walker, 44, was beaten twice within a short period after being transferred from another prison, the first time after a dispute about his personal possessions, said James Urrutia, an attorney for his family.

“There is absolutely no evidence that (Walker) had any heart disease, no issues at all with his heart," Urrutia told The Associated Press.

An email and phone message seeking comment about the settlement were not immediately returned by the Department of Corrections.

For more than 15 years, before they conducted any operation to arrest an immigrant in the United States, officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations division have been required to fill out a form with details about their target — name, appearance, known addresses and employment, immigration history, any criminal history and more — and give it to a supervisor for approval.

This year, in a sign of how the agency has moved from targeted enforcement to broad street sweeps under the Trump administration, that policy has been ended, six current and former officials and agents of ICE and the Department of Homeland Security told NBC News.

“It’s hard to fill out a worksheet that just says, ‘Meet in the Home Depot parking lot,’” one of the former ICE officials said.

The Trump administration isn’t a party to the case, but the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago has allowed the Justice Department’s top official in charge of civil rights, Harmeet Dhillon, to deliver oral arguments for five minutes when the panel hears arguments later this month over whether the 2023 law violates the U.S. Constitution.
