UPDATE: Israel is striking all over Gaza, claiming Hamas violated the ceasefire.

Hamas says they didn’t, and it was settlers running over an explosive device.

Bottom line: people are still dying, including children.

JUST IN: Israeli officials halt the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip and ramp up military strikes after accusing Hamas of violating ceasefire. Israeli officials are pushing for military operations to resume “in full force.”

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

Avoiding what would have been ugly habeas litigation if the USG had tried to hold them in law of war detention—litigation that could have challenged the bogus legal basis for these strikes.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.
