Really useful analysis of data to show how many people are going to ICE detention from local jails. These arrests are less visible to the public - as compared to raids or street arrests -- so we don't see the full scope.
From @prisonpolicy.org: New analysis of government data from ICE via the Deportation Data Project shows federal agents reliant on local jails and police to reach their arrest numbers.

Although DACA shields people from detention and deportation, federal agents took away Javier's phone and denied him accommodations.

Extremely insane story involving Goodreads sleuthing, the guy steering policy on women in the military being into a lot of weird/dark/unfaithful sex stuff, AND Jack Posobiac apparently threatening the journalist reporting it
This is a really disturbing story on several levels and certainly anyone who interacts with the Pentagon specifically or the administration more generally should read it:
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.
