Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils and paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others.

After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A 12,000-seat indoor arena within Tehran’s Azadi Sports Complex was destroyed in a US-Israeli airstrike today, marking the latest in a series of criminal attacks targeting Iranian infrastructure.
The strike also leveled dormitories and a newly constructed building belonging to the Cycling Federation, while damaging windows in adjacent facilities, including the complex’s swimming pool.

Alireza Sohrabian, president of Iran’s Rowing Federation, condemned the attack as a breach of the Red Cross charter, which prohibits the targeting of sports, educational, and healthcare facilities during conflict.
