ICYMI: Colorado activists call for transparency measures as they attempt to track ICE flights out of Denver

While questions remain over how a Sept. 2 Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid in Montour County unfolded, emails between ICE and a participating police department shed more light on what happened.

Inside an ICE facility, women talked about the men whose 911 calls landed them there — the boyfriends or husbands who had beat them, choked them, threatened deportation. “I had suffered from domestic violence,” one woman said. “But the one who ended up in trouble was me.”

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villages across the occupied West Bank on Friday, setting fire to cars and trees and beating residents and a foreign journalist, in the latest violence to disrupt the territory's annual olive harvest this month. https://to.pbs.org/4jrLwZi

ICE’s own confiscation directive only permits officers to keep belongings for a clearly defined reason. But a new lawsuit alleges the agency is refusing to return personal items like employment authorization documents, phones, and a wedding ring.

The Trump administration is still ripping migrant families apart — now, with a quieter tactic. It is a deception that hinges upon one word: “unaccompanied”

The goal in detaining these children, a former official says, is “to make sure no one ever sends their kids to the US again.” Read @samanthamichaels.bsky.social + @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social report on the administration's new family separation policy that targets children in the nation's interior.

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case about whether the Trump administration's plans to hold undocumented residents indefinitely while their immigration case or charges proceed is constitutional. dailymontanan.com/2026/10/01/r...

At first glance, New York’s new law banning formal agreements between ICE and local police and sheriffs directly impacts only a small number of law enforcement agencies. But a group of sheriffs is suing, arguing it could have far broader consequences.

Buried away and completely hidden out of sight in a dense forest, more than 1,600 immigrants are imprisoned here on any given day in what is the largest immigration detention center in the Northeast.

The ICE detention center in Aurora will remain a stain on the state for a very long time. That's why last year I called it the Bastille of Colorado. It's "an intolerable trespass on the people’s conscience." coloradonewsline.com/2025/04/24/i...

The Trump administration gave ICE an unprecedented budget in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and waste is running rampant. The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office found that at least $20M was wasted because DHS began expanding detention operations without plans for how to use them.
