ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men with no identifying insignias and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG.

The Secretary of Defense lies under oath, claiming 21 million illegals" entered under Biden. Trump previously invented the 20 million figure out of thin air at a campaign rally. Recently, he randomly started saying 21 million. Now his surrogates are parroting that fake number.

It’s actually a civil violation, like jaywalking, and the process of seeking asylum is an established legal process that is protected in both domestic and international law.

Agents slashed tires, yanked people out of trucks, threw people to the ground, and called farmworkers “Mexican bitches” during unannounced raids in Kern County, according to a complaint filed today by the American Civil Liberties Union.

NEW: Sources at DHS are telling me the cost of Laken Riley Act would be more like $20-30 billion, citing a $7 billion figure just for beds BEFORE the mandate's costs on local law enforcement.

For over a year, I've reported on-the-ground on growing enforced displacement due to armed conflict in Michoacán, Mexico. The response of the Mexican government: downplay the scale of the crisis if not deny it altogether. My feature for @thebafflermag thebaffler.com/salvos/none-of…

The H-2A worker visa program has seen a massive expansion in the past decade. That came with increased abuse by employers. Important reporting by @LillPerlmutter thebaffler.com/latest/trick-c…

By some estimates, over a quarter of agricultural workers in the U.S. are seasonal migrant workers. @LillPerlmutter reports on the labor abuses they face—which will only get worse under a second Trump administration. thebaffler.com/latest/trick-c…

So many fake videos circulating right now, and many with the explicit intent of spreading the false claim of largescale noncitizen voting to undermine faith in the election. Remember, when Georgia did a full audit, it identified just 9 cases of noncitizen voting from 2008-2020.
