Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

A Fed court found it was very likely that the Trump-Vance administration broke the law when it failed to fund SNAP benefits from the contingency fund and that its plan to terminate ABAWD waivers early, impacting communities across 17 states, was unlawful.

A surge in callouts among air traffic controllers "is straining staffing levels" at multiple airports across the US — including in the NYC area where 80% of controllers are absent.
The FAA said half of the 30 busiest facilities were experiencing staffing shortages, "leading to widespread impacts."

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.
