They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

In a Thu raid on a Jackson Heights apt, agents had a (rare) signed judicial warrant to search an apt (no residents were named), but still they forced their way in, while outside they had agents with assault rifles, an ICE caravan of oversized vehicles, and a helicopter overhead. Two people taken.

t minus two days to handing in the dissertation manuscript and: revisions have brought the word count up a little (65,114), most of the comments I have left along the lines of "add this if you have time" will probably be skipped in favor of actually assembling the bibliography
