This is Trump's America -- where an American walking down the street doing nothing wrong can be chased, assaulted, and detained by armed thugs who refuse to even look at his proof of citizenship.
Trump has repeatedly said Somali Americans are "garbage," so now DHS is treating them that way.

A 50 Million Light Year Structure Caught Spinning
A 50 Million Light Year Structure Caught Spinning
Astronomers have discovered a filament 50 million light years long containing hundreds of galaxies, all spinning together. This immense structure, located 140 million light years away, challenges current models of galaxy formation by showing that large scale rotation can persist far longer and more coherently than theories predicted. The discovery offers a rare glimpse into how galaxies acquire their spin and reveals the Cosmic Web as a more dynamically active place than previously imagined.

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.
