A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

🚨Amazing:
🇳🇴 Norway’s drone detection system protecting Oslo Airport comes from 🇨🇳 Chinese company DJI Aeroscope, with system updates coming directly from DJI in China.

Unexpectedly that 🇨🇳 system was down for a full 19h from the evening of September 22nd, which is why the airport had to be closed.

Good luck selling Megapacks or cars without batteries, #Tesla

China's New Weapon in US Trade Talks:
Batteries

China's newly announced raft of restrictions on the export of batteries could have major impacts on US companies.

In the first seven months of 2025, Chinese grid-scale lithium-ion batteries accounted for about 65% of US imports:

The US is heavily reliant on Chinese batteries as it seeks to stabilize the grid and support explosive data center demand for power.

If Brad Smith is choosing this, that's fine: not the choice I'd make but then again I'm able to communicate so maybe I'd feel differently if I had his limitations

Given Musk's history of lying, I'm very concerned that Brad Smith is not making any choices at all

Mali has announced that US nationals visiting the West African country will be required to post a bond of up to $10,000 (£7,500) for business and tourist visas, in response to a similar requirement the Trump administration has imposed on its citizens:

The West African state says it has introduced an "identical visa programme" for US travellers.

Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers

It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously

Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Dette er skummelt. Mildest talt.

Og vi bare "utvikler, ikke avvikler".

Den dagen AMOC stopper opp kan sikkerheten for alle norske boliglån justeres ned til null.

Vi flyr med bind for øynene in i en fremtid som er helt uforutsigbar, mens det eneste vi bryr oss om er formelle klimamål.
