Wow. It's been 10 years since the #HitchBot incident in #Philly. billypenn.com/2025/10/06/h...

HitchBOT celebrated by hundreds in Elfreth's Alley, 10 years after its demise there

Its journey was cut short in Philadelphia 10 years ago, but its legacy was commemorated this October — and could continue to be.

Boston Globe follows up on my reporting last Friday, which placed the formation of a new ICE surveillance unit in Vermont.

The Globe asks and answers the question: "Why the hell Vermont?"

www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/06/m...

The department’s outsize presence in Vermont is attributable to one man: former Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. For nearly half a century, Leahy steered a tsunami of federal funding to the state, particularly after he became the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee and then the Senate Appropriations Committee.
In 1991, according to the Burlington Free Press, Leahy helped bring a branch of what was then known as the US Immigration and Naturalization Service to Vermont. Over the next few years, he brought precursors of the National Criminal Analysis and Targeting Center and the Law Enforcement Support Center to the state.
“If it can be anywhere, why not have it in Vermont?” the senator said at the time, according to the Free Press.
