Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered.

The appropriations measure that ended the shutdown in November says explicitly that none of the spending can be used to carry out reductions in force. This is mostly canceling unfilled positions, but cutting the regional offices would seem to conflict with the appropriations ban.
VA plans to abruptly eliminate tens of thousands of health care jobs
Strains on the Veterans Affairs system could grow with the elimination of as many as 35,000 mostly unfilled health care positions, including doctors and nurses.

The irony is chilling: a man who exposed a concentration camp is now imprisoned in one himself. If Guan Heng is sent back to China, there's no doubt he will be imprisoned for a very long time or worse. Hopefully, he has a good asylum lawyer.🤞
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.
