Now the number is at least 11. According to a press release today, 59-year-old Pejman Karshenas Najafabadi died in custody on March 1 after suffering a heart attack. He was from Iran and came to the US as a lawful permanent resident decades ago.
Employees at Camp East Montana are being told that the massive detention Center in El Paso is not closing, internal messages obtained by the El Paso Times show.
My story:
I think coverage of how the regime discusses the war should include at least a mention of these insane copyright-violating agitprop videos.
They’re going to turn it into rubble and dust and call it justice and peace
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

I'm not faulting this reporter, I have no idea what editorial dynamics are at play. Reporters don't necessarily get the final say on anything. My experience is that editors are far more squeamish about speaking directly than reporters are.
I would love it if we as an industry could be blunt and precise about what is happening. Trump is hiding the human cost of war and the media is helping. There's no good reason to soften it.
“I don’t see why we should be spending all of this money paying some AI vendor to target the wrong people to murder a bunch of kids” @alexisgoldstein.bsky.social (candidate for MD-06!) nails it. Interview starts at 26:00 www.youtube.com/live/t5mQq9I...
So the fact that we bombed a girls elementary school, while likely using AI for targeting, is going to be a major headline story dominating American news coverage when exactly?
😂
I am sorry to say that at least 10 people have died in ICE custody since January, not nine. They are:
Geraldo Lunas Campos
Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz
Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres
Parady La
Heber Sanchaz Domínguez
Victor Manuel Diaz
Lorth Sim
Jairo Garcia-Hernandez
Alberto Gutierrez-Reyes
Emmanuel Damas
Located 145,000 Children Lost Under the Biden Administration Under Secretary Noem, DHS and the Department of Health and Human Services have located 145,000 unaccompanied children that the Biden administration lost. Too many of these children were exploited and abused before, during, and after being trafficked over our borders. All told, the Biden administration lost more than 450,000 children because of its open border policies.
I am struggling to believe this.
Kristi Noem is claiming that under her leadership, DHS has located 145,000 lost children.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
That ad is almost a decade old at this point, I think from 2017 or so? it's been rattling around in my brain since then. it's insane to me that we are all indoctrinated so hard that we joke about working till we die. anyway the US is a free country haha
this isn't normal or good.
it's not normal that so many of us in the US figure we're just never going to retire.
NEW: Over the past year, we've been collecting thousands of financial disclosure documents from across the Trump administration. Now we're making them searchable. Look up names, assets, former employers across 1,500+ Trump appointees and 3,000+ ethics documents.
We gather information for this tracker from government data, including ICE, CBP and Justice Department reports, news reports, and advocacy and legal group reports.
These are minimum numbers that will no doubt rise when we update it again next week.
They have injured a further 38 people badly enough to require hospitalization.
Kristi Noem continues to say her agents are doing important, good work and that her immigration prisons are safe, as she did at the hearing that just ended a few minutes ago. She is lying.
We updated our record of people immigration agents have killed or caused to die since Trump took office in January 2025.
As of today, agents have killed at least 28 people in the field and 48 people in custody.
The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE.
Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009.
A quick thread:
she never said yes or no btw
Moskowitz lists more headlines to include into the record, tells Noem she has "basically destroyed" FEMA.
Noem is talking now about how difficult it is preparing for the FIFA World Cup so people "can come by the millions" to watch matches. Absolutely delusional.
Kamlager-Dove is now reading headlines of articles about Noem and Lewandowski's corruption and relationship asking they be entered into the record.
omg Kamlager-Dove just asked if Noem has had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski
