A huge tip of the hat to the NYTimes, the CBC, the BBC, Reuters and others for being absolutely all over this school bombing and piecing together the truth of what happened -- www.reuters.com/world/middle...

SCOOP: In a January letter to Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL), DHS says 270 DACA recipients have been arrested from January to September 2025. In addition, 174 DACA applicants have been deported, according to ICE records.
Those numbers differ from what was shared with Sen. Dick Durbin in February.
Footage shows a Iranian ballistic missile striking Bahrain's Bapco Energies refinery. The IRGC confirmed it had completed a 12th wave of missiles targeting 'US bases'. #Iran
Some Indian politicians claim the Iranian warship sunk by the US submarine was on its way home from an international joint exercise — where the rules mandated it show up unarmed.
And that the US knew that, because it pulled out of participating at the last minute.

Foreign nationals fleeing Iran through neighboring Armenia shared their memories of the first moments of the US-Israeli strikes as they queued at the border.
The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"
One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.
Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge
CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?
NOEM: A what?
CROCKETT: A law degree
NOEM: No I do no-
CROCKETT: Okay
We are not treating this, war, the murder of people for arguably legitimate and just ends, with the solemnity it deserves.
The Trump government has adopted the flippant media tactics we saw from ISIS recruitment videos a decade ago.
It was damning for jihadists then.
How about now?

UPDATE: State Department is finally offering travel help for people stuck in Middle East — 5 days into war.
I just spoke with a woman stuck in UAE. She's been registered with State since Saturday, but only got a crisis form this morning. No chartered flight info yet
A video from Admiral Brad Cooper, who's leading US Central Command, says that the American military is using suicide drones on Iran — based on the very same design as the Iranian Shahed drone.

I got a leaked memo.
DOJ is reversing rules on its top officials — including one that says they can't "use their official authority or influence to interfere with or affect the result of an election."

ICE under Trump 2.0 built an unprecedented media operation - deploying videographers to raids, pumping out edgy social posts, swiping pop music for hype videos - and the main metric for evaluating its impact shows that Americans now hate ICE more than ever

Journalists have been asking us again and again about how to spot deepfakes.
Here’s our best advice for now, though it may evolve quickly, as AI advancements are happening in weeks and months rather than years. deepfakestracker.org/deepfake-spo...
Lawmakers from both parties criticized DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s handling of immigration enforcement in a fiery Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. https://www.notus.org/immigration/kristi-noem-hearing-dhs-immigration-shutdown
'UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY': Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointeee from NY, thrashes DHS' treatment of a man who came to the US at 9 as an abuse/neglect victim, has no criminal record and became a college grad.

Latest: Remember when the police chief of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota held a press conference about how ICE was racially profiling residents?
I FOIA'd the police department for complaints and incident reports and interviewed two people who say they were harassed by ICE reason.com/2026/03/03/a...
Heading back in. Update later.
But the judge this morning drew a hard line at stopping the protesters from even claiming self-defense against an officer who drew his gun when chasing down an unarmed protester.
Those monitoring say this trial has the potential to criminalize dissent in a way that harkens back to the Red Scare.
This case is a real fork in the road for this Trump Administration. The feds are trying to pin the injuring of a cop on all the protesters, even the ones who just showed up to set off fireworks on the residential street.
Unclear how the jury is responding to that.
A few thoughts during this extremely short break from a very cramped courtroom:
1. The FBI is making a lot of the anarchist and leftist "zines" they found at people's homes.
2. Answering questions, FBI agents keep admitting there's nothing illegal about this literature or the guns they seized.
I am in Fort Worth, Texas, covering the Justice Department's first trial against antifascism as "terrorism."
The "Prairieland 9" protesters are accused of attacking an ICE facility last summer ... but there's much more to this story than that.
Writing a story in the coming days.
Slowly pull out cigarette, light it, and stare at you all.
"My brothers and sisters..."
And yet so many Americans want traffic cameras on every street corner.
Same FBI agent, now in September 2025, claiming he's not aware of any government officials who use Signal.
This was six months after Signalgate.
