đ¨ALERT: Federal agents have returned to Mt. Pleasant, DC. This video was taken last night.
Unclear if this is immigration-related, but spread the word.
And if you see something, let me know. @MigrantInsider

Breaking news: The Trump administration will require most foreigners seeking green cards to apply from outside the U.S., a shift that lawyers said could affect thousands of people who file applications each year while living in America on temporary visas. wapo.st/42OZ7jS

California Democrat Doris Matsui was born in an internment camp. Sheâs also voted to fund ICE five times. Now she wants credit for opposing it. Reporting by me: migrantinsider.com/p/matsui-âŚ

On Wednesday, Estefany Rodriguez was on the ground reporting on ICE abductions. Now she's been disappeared without a warrant.
"Spanish-language outlets in cities like Nashville are the last newsroom standing between an immigrant family and total silence." @MigrantInsider
đ¨ALERT: ICE HAS DISAPPEARED NASHVILLE NOTICIAS REPORTER ESTEFANY RODRĂGUEZ
"We don't know where she is," her husband Alejandro told me, though the ICE detainee locator had put her in Alabama. Now it shows zero results for her.
Last he heard from his wife was 10am Wednesday in the hours after ICE abducted her outside their gym off the Murfreesboro Pike in South Nashville where her clearly marked press vehicle was surrounded by unmarked vehicles full of masked agents. This is a developing story.

STORY TIME: On the Hill, I get told a lot that ICE is coming to get me or Trump is going to send me to alligator Alcatraz or CECOT.
These "jokes" doesn't come from lawmakers or staffers. They come from the press, some who give me dirty looks now for not having solidarity.
Well solidarity is a two-way street, homies. I back real ones who keep it real. And I never forget a slight. I keep mum and don't name names because I'm not a bitch or a snitch.
But Estefany's case makes it real. She is one of ours and most of you don't give a fuck. Which means you're not going to give a fuck if it happens to me or any of us actually under threat.
Sure, Estef is Spanish-language. Well ... half of me is too. Does that make us less in you? To a lotta of you it does. I know because if you threaten a Pablo with ICE on my beat, nobody says a goddamn thing.
TO BE CLEAR, the best press have always been real with me. You know me. I know you. From dishwasher to the best reporter in the Capitol: the realest ones have kept it so throughout our careers so I'm telling you now:
Estefany Maria RodrĂguez Flores' release matters to press freedom more than any banquet, luncheon, or award. She matters just as much if not more than Evan when he got abducted by Putin. More because this happened on Wednesday in our own country.
She must be released by ICE immediately and you have to have her back. Otherwise, fuck your press freedom speeches and toasts and talking points because you're not serious people, press, or colleagues.
Estefany should be a five alarm fire. That she ain't is a problem and your silence is deafening â at least, to me.
I'll leave it at that.
