Something I find really interesting in the Big Bend wall injunction case –– the gov't has quietly shifted from insisting that the Big Bend is "an area of high illegal entry" urgently in need of wall to a long-term view, where no wall means it's vulnerable to future border crime

The Department of Homeland Security is openly engaging in an unprecedented, partisan campaign to intervene in the midterm elections. My latest piece @NewYorker surveys the effort and looks at what it means at the local level: newyorker.com/news/the-polit…

JUST IN: Significant decision from the 10th Circuit: the 6 month "reasonable" period of detention for ICE detainees with final orders of removal does *not* reset over time.
The Trump admin had argued the 6 months reset everytime ICE redetained someone.

esp when the last several years have only demonstrated repeatedly how student journalists are breaking significant stories, covering things critically and thoroughly... smh
Hey @MTA any reason your press office has been treating student journalists like they're not real journalists? If your press team had time to send a condescending responses about how they don't deal with student journalists, surely, they could have just responded to the question.

SCOOP: The State Department distributed new country assessments to asylum officers, arguing that conditions in some Latin American countries are no more dangerous than in major US cities. The new assessments will likely bear directly on asylum claims. cnn.com/2026/10/21/politics/…

Homeland Security agents wanted to search an Atlanta protester's phone. So they detained him at the airport, cut him off from his lawyer, and lied to him that they were looking for "kiddie porn" and might let him go if he cooperates, govt documents show.

Earlier this year, Sarah Chihaya was diagnosed with MSA—a terminal neurodegenerative disease. Right now, she can no longer read or write—this will be her last piece. And it's a brilliant one about Emily Brontë and unknowability. thenation.com/article/cultur…

New: We found cops who kept using Flock to spy on women after they left the force.
One used it for five years after retirement, spying on his wife during a custody battle.
Another ran searches while he was suspended (and later fired) after killing a 15-year-old boy.

OPEN LETTER: Sally Rooney is a writer, not a terrorist. Her books must be available to the public. Their withdrawal from sale, on the basis of ill-conceived and draconian anti terror legislation, is an affront to basic principles of free speech and expression so long taken for granted in this country. We categorically reject censorship - whether direct or indirect - and urge the government to change course, amending the legislation which has led us to this point of repressive absurdity.
