A week inside the opaque court where CT immigrants learn their fate
The courtroom often resembles an assembly line, with many cases taking less than five minutes.

NEW: I spent a week in Connecticut’s only immigration court, where thousands of people each year learn if they can stay in the United States.
The court doesn’t allow photography, so I took an illustrator.

Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

I’m an investigative reporter. Who would I even be sleeping with for scoops, a filing cabinet?
I assume journalists do this stuff all the time. Maybe more on the editorial side, but as a non-journalist, I don’t particularly care what part of the organization is tasked to do the consent-manufacturing. This assumption is based on my observations of journalism in the run up to the Iraq War.

CHOTINER: You said the 2001 song "For Lovers Only" was "for those ... that want but have no need."
MAXWELL: Right.
CHOTINER: A verse later, you said, "Ever since the way that you looked at me / Love is not a want, love is now a need."
MAXWELL: Hold on ...
CHOTINER: I'm just trying to understand.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

A big problem in urbanism: getting enough family-sized apartments built in dense areas. Without them, people come when they're young & then flee to the suburbs when they have a family.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

provable facts > speculation, every time
TIP: Anyone who posts wild speculation as something that is “almost certainly” the case right now is ~almost certainly~ someone you should not rely on in moments where news is breaking and a story is rapidly developing.
