🇺🇸 #ICE DETENTION: “This trafficker is dangerous and violent and needs to be in jail, not the victim.”
⚖️My latest story for @guardian about how ICE detained an alleged trafficking victim. But not the man who harmed her.

Historical fact: The Washington Hilton is also where Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981 after he exited the hotell. See this plaque commemorating the events.

🇲🇽♀️Crucial documentary about the public prosecutor investigating #femicides in #Mexico City. Launches today on Netflix.
Mar 26
Hoy #Netflix estrena el documental #LaFiscal sobre la labor de la Fiscal a cargo de los feminicidios de la Ciudad de México, Sayuri Herrera, actual titular de la Fiscalía Especial para investigación de Delitos de Género contra las Mujeres de la Fiscalía General de la República Mexicana. Aunque presumo que será un documental duro, lo recomiendo encarecidamente porque vale la pena conocer la labor que Sayuri está realizando por la justicia y la reparación de las mujeres víctimas de violencia machista en Mexico. Y, sobre todo, porque me siento muy orgullosa de ver a una amiga, íntegra, militante y valiente, hacer justicia enfrentándose a un entorno tan hostil. Una gigante, Sayuri ❤️

This apparent error is only the beginning if the U.S. continues to militarize the fight against organized crime. As the DEA learned after its controversial 2012 raid in Ahuas, Honduras, tolerance in Latin America for collateral damage is understandably low.

Jaw-dropping: The U.S. and Ecuador said they had cooperated to blow up a cocaine trafficking operation. Our reporters visited and found it was just a dairy farm, whose residents were brutalized by Ecuadorian soldiers acting on Pentagon intelligence. nytimes.com/2026/03/24/world…

🔴 #ATENCIÓN | Denunciamos ante la comunidad internacional y los organismos de derechos humanos los presuntos de tortura a los que fueron sometidos un grupo de campesinos en la provincia de Sucumbíos, perpetrados por las Fuerzas Armadas en coordinación con los Estados Unidos.
Los testimonios que presentamos como pruebas son parte de un reportaje de Radio Sucumbíos. Además, el @nytimes también ha documentado la crueldad de esta operación militar.
¡No permitiremos que este caso quede en la impunidad!

A woman in Maryland calls #ICE on the workers who were fixing her roof.
Homeowner waits until construction job is nearly done—then calls ICE on 6 of her own workers.
Woman even provides the ladder used by agent to detain men—who she owes $10,000 for 3 day job.
"She called the damn law on us and now we're totally screwed!" men yell in Spanish. "They surrounded us!—They surrounded us!"
Agents even left behind the workers' van with doors wide open—filled with thousands of dollars worth of tools.
The arrest was broadcast live for about 30 minutes by a co-worker—identified as Bryan Polanco.
"Seeing it is not the same as experiencing it," he explains.
"I’ve seen many videos, and sadly today I had to experience it."
At the end of the video he gets the woman who called ICE on camera: "It is the same woman. Tidying up the house, and still with hatred in her heart."
The incident occurred in Cambridge, Maryland.

Worms in food. Medical crises. Measles outbreaks. Malnutrition. Several deaths, including one ruled a homicide, in the last few months alone.
The reports out of the nation’s largest detention facility are horrifying.
Thousands of Minnesotans have been sent to Camp East Montana, so I went to conduct oversight and visit my constituents being held there.
ICE didn’t allow me to see or speak to any of them.

🇺🇸🇲🇽Donald Trump takes credit for the killing of Mexican drug lord "El Mencho".
"We have also taken down one of the most sinister cartel kingpins," he said in his annual address before Congress.
Listen below. Minute 53.
#SOTU #SOTU26
Este es el momento en que el presidente Donald Trump presume como logro de su administración la muerte de Nemesio Oseguera "El Mencho".
Y agrega que grandes partes de México han estado bajo control de grupos criminales.

Half-built houses are sitting empty across the #RGV, where builders and suppliers are raising alarms about economic havoc wrecked by ICE raids.
One Weslaco subdivision has been hit at least 6 times in recent months. Others have homes months behind schedule.👇

ICE is at over 140% of its congressionally funded detention capacity.
Nearly half of detainees lack criminal records.
