My film camera stopped working on the second day of my roadtrip, so it looks like this’ll be a mostly digital trip. Here’s the first digital photo from earlier today.

On a California roadtrip and yesterday I stopped at California City Correctional Facility – the largest ICE detention center in the state – and then Manzanar concentration camp, where thousands of Japanese Americans were forcibly interned during World War 2.

We are repeating the sins of our past.

Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills said ICE agents are draining the resources of his department and the community by making false 911 calls. He has demanded ICE turn over the names of all federal officers involved in each incident, and said he is ready to take ICE to court.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

Aerial view of California City Correctional Facility, a private prison owned by CoreCivic that has been converted into the single largest ICE detention center in California.

Many detainees have decried the conditions within the facility.

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted.

My story:

Trump mandates all federal agencies send email blaming Dems for potential gov’t shutdown

Workers call the partisan email "a vile slap in the face."

The US Forest Service website now displays a banner that reads “The Radical Left Democrats shutdown the government.” This is an explicit breach of the Hatch Act, but nothing new for the Trump administration.

While Disney's Bob Iger bent the knee to Trump's censorship, Willow Bay, Iger's wife and dean of USC's journalism school, remained silent.

Wherein I interview a one-time #Texas oilman and learn about the massive mess left behind when his company collapsed.
It's also a glimpse into how oil wells get orphaned and how New Mexico may be on the hook for $1.6 billion in cleanup costs in coming years.

Trump wants to allow road construction & logging on 45 million acres of protected National Forests. I spoke w/ conservationists who said rescinding the Roadless Rule is an existential threat & with timber industry professionals who are excited at the prospect.
