Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

What it’s like to visit the ICE detention center in Adelanto
The facility, roughly 85 miles northeast of Los Angeles, is at the end of a road splintered with cracks and potholes. Once there, some wait for hours to see their loved ones.

Please, support your local indies and freelance journalists. Subscribe to their newsletters, share their work, and, if you can, help them survive. So many are consistently doing incredible, vital work and get paid scraps or less.
But most of the freelance/independent reporters I know (myself included) are either facing homelessness directly in the face, have been homeless or are already homeless. Most work 50+ hours a week.
Support the outlets, but also support your local indies.
