We were relieved he was safe. He applied for asylum.

Then, a few months ago he was caught up in an ICE raid. He was in the US legally, but didn't have the papers to prove he had entered the country regularly (as most asylum seekers don't).

The prison had been recently completed, but the Chinese government at that moment was insisting that the mass detention campaign was over. In fact they were continuing to build new facilities, albeit of a different type and Guan helped to prove that.

I still remember seeing his video for the first time, as he drove across Xinjiang filming, making excuses to drive down a one way street past one detention centre, tramping across fields, mounting a hidden camera on his backpack to walk past a series of prisons in the regional capital Urumqi.

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.

He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

Heng Guan is awaiting an immigration hearing on Monday that could lead to his removal from the U.S. and ultimately land him back in China, according to his lawyer and a New York-based activist group.

The same people who think we need to bring back real standards to academia also want to give all students a “suspend my professor” button if they don’t like how things are going
From the Oklahoma U student paper: the school is now saying it will automatically suspend faculty (with pay) in response to student complaints

Beyond that, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) has been blocking other senators' tribal bills for years, in an effort to pressure them to support his Lumbee bill.

None of those bills made it into the defense bill.

"They’ve been held hostage,” said Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.). “I don’t agree with that."

The defense bill sailed through the House last week and is set for Senate action this week.

There aren't any senators opposing the Lumbee tribe hitching a ride on this bill, but some are frustrated by the special treatment it's getting.

Their tribal bills were all left out.

Last week, lawmakers tucked language into a fast-moving defense bill to grant federal recognition to the Lumbee Tribe, which currently only has state recognition.

It's the only tribal provision in the 3,086-page bill.

New: Trump has never been an ally to Native tribes. But there's one he's been praising all year: the Lumbee Tribe of N.C.

Why? They backed him in 2024.

Now they're about to get full federal recognition -- infuriating other tribes who question their legitimacy. www.huffpost.com/entry/lumbee...

This man is a hero who saved countless lives. He's the best of humanity during the worst of it.

VERY important to make clear that the passer-by who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters is a Muslim named Ahmed el-Ahmed. He probably saved many lives

A 43 year old married father of two

We are heartbroken by the horrific terrorist attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney.

Hanukkah commemorates the Jewish people's resilience and their right to exist, worship, and live openly as Jews. The perpetrators of this attack sought to extinguish that light and terrorize Jewish communities worldwide.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.
