Immigrant rights advocates are warning of increased racial profiling and more aggressive Immigration and Customs Enforcement tactics in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to temporarily lift a federal judge's order that barred the agency from detaining people without probable cause. Concerns intensified after the Department of Homeland Security announced on social media that law enforcement would “flood the zone” in Los Angeles. We look at what's happening on the ground and where the law stands.

Hoy hablamos sobre el ICE, "los hombres de hielo": el Servicio de Control de Inmigración y Aduanas de los Estados Unidos o el "United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement". Una agencia norteamericana que se dedica a hacer cumplir las leyes de extranjería e investigar las actividades delictivas y terroristas de ciudadanos extranjeros residentes en EEUU. Desde que llegase Donald Trump a la Casa Blanca, se ha convertido en una de las herramientas más destacadas del Presidente además de una de las más controvertidas. Los miembros de la agencia, que aparecen frecuentemente ocultando sus caras y con pocos identificativos, han sido acusados de realizar prácticas al borde de la ley, detenciones arbitrarias y deportaciones irregulares. Para analizar qué es el ICE, hablamos con Fede, residente en Estados Unidos durante 24 años y activista por la defensa de los derechos civiles y la inmigración. Conduce Antonio Rosenthal.

President Donald Trump is once again threatening to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department after D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, D-D.C., refused cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Trump's last emergency order put the city's police under his command for 30 days, with more than 40% of arrests immigration-related. While Trump claims the surge reduced crime, Bowser says, “Immigration enforcement is not what the MPD does. And with the end of the emergency, it won't be what MPD does in the future.” Congress is also considering bills that would weaken D.C.'s Home Rule.

Nine Senate Democrats are calling on Immigration and Customs Enforcement to halt its use of a mobile facial recognition application. In a letter to ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, the lawmakers ask for more details on ICE's Mobile Fortify app. The technology reportedly allows ICE to identify individuals they encounter on the streets using multiple federal databases. The Senate lawmakers say ICE should answer questions about whether it's using the app to surveil protestors and whether the agency is integrating commercial data into the technology.

Bad Bunny is once again making international headlines this week with the culmination of his historic San Juan residency at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, which wraps up on September 14. This residency, titled "No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí," has drawn an estimated 600,000 fans from the United States, Latin America, and Europe. The event has generated an extraordinary $200 million boost for Puerto Rico's local economy, according to coverage from Digital Music News, making it one of the most successful and influential concert series the island has ever seen. Bad Bunny used every night of this 30-show run not only as a musical experience but as a celebration of Puerto Rican culture—encouraging fans to explore local food, music, and even salsa dancing while they were in town.While most global superstars would embark on a massive multi-country tour, Bad Bunny instead invited the world to come to him. This strategy both deepened his ties with the island and sent a strong message about the cultural power and resilience of Puerto Rico. Forbes called this residency a blueprint for how a celebrity's brand can drive real economic and cultural transformation.There's a lot of buzz, and not a little controversy, around why Bad Bunny has left the United States off the touring schedule for his upcoming "Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour," set to begin November 21 in the Dominican Republic. In a candid interview with i-D magazine, Bad Bunny explained that the decision is rooted in deep concern over ICE—U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement—showing up outside his concerts. He didn't want to put any Latino fans at risk, especially those who might fear deportation or harassment at major U.S. venues. According to The Fader and Los Angeles Times, he's openly criticized ICE actions in both mainland U.S. and Puerto Rico, posting videos and speaking out on social media about the impact of these raids on the community. He stressed that U.S. fans are absolutely not forgotten: anyone is welcome to attend shows in Puerto Rico or abroad, reaffirming his commitment to connecting with his American audience, just in a safer context for everyone.Bad Bunny is also dominating the music headlines for his upcoming studio album, "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," which is scheduled for release January 5, 2025. According to Variety and AOL, the album is expected to include 17 tracks, among them "El Clúb" and "Pitorro De Coco," songs that have already dropped and which explore themes of nostalgia and the complexities of moving on from love. Critics and streaming platforms have already marked it as one of the most anticipated releases of the new year, promising a fresh blend of EDM, plena, and signature Bad Bunny introspection. This highly awaited project follows a period of high-profile singles and viral performances, keeping fans eager for his next musical chapter.Adding to his record-breaking year, Bad Bunny shattered another milestone by securing 27 nominations at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards, the largest tally ever for any artist in a single year. Latin Times notes that these nominations span top categories, including Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Top Latin Album for "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," and multiple Hot Latin Song entries. He's widely expected to be the star of the October 23 ceremony, further cementing his dominance across Latin and global music scenes.Across social media, fans are celebrating the impact of his residency and discussing plans to travel internationally for the new tour, given the absence of U.S. dates. Venues in Europe, Latin America, Japan, Australia, and the Caribbean are preparing for huge turnout as Bad Bunny's global influence continues to expand.Thank you for tuning in, and be sure to join us again next week for more on the world's biggest artists and their latest moves.

EP 259.5The cybersecurity and technology threat landscape is accelerating in scale, sophistication, and impact. A convergence of AI-driven offensive capabilities, large-scale supply chain compromises, systemic insecurity in consumer devices, corporate data abuses, and state-level spyware deployment is reshaping digital risk. At the same time, new innovations—particularly in open-source, privacy-centric AI and smart home repurposing—highlight the dual-edged nature of technological progress.AI-Accelerated ExploitsAttackers now harness generative AI to automate exploit creation, compressing timelines from months to minutes. “Auto Exploit,” powered by Claude-sonnet-4.0, can produce functional PoC code for vulnerabilities in under 15 minutes at negligible cost, fundamentally shifting defensive priorities. The challenge is no longer whether a flaw is technically exploitable but how quickly exposure becomes weaponized.Massive Supply Chain AttacksSoftware ecosystems remain prime targets. A phishing campaign against a single npm maintainer led to malware injection into packages downloaded billions of times weekly, constituting the largest supply-chain attack to date. This demonstrates how a single compromised account can ripple globally across developers, enterprises, and end users.Weaponization of Benign FormatsAttackers increasingly exploit trusted file types. SVG-based phishing campaigns deliver malware through fake judicial portals, evading antivirus detection with obfuscation and dummy code. Over 500 samples were linked to one campaign, prompting Microsoft to disable inline SVG rendering in Outlook as a mitigation measure.Systemic Insecurity in IoTLow-cost consumer devices, particularly internet-connected surveillance cameras, ship with unpatchable flaws. Weak firmware, absent encryption, bypassable authentication, and plain-text data transmission expose users to surveillance rather than security. These systemic design failures create enduring vulnerabilities at scale.Corporate Breaches and Data AbuseThe Plex breach underscored the persistence of corporate data exposure, with compromised usernames and passwords requiring resets. Meanwhile, a federal jury fined Google $425.7M for secretly tracking 98M devices despite user privacy settings—reinforcing that legal and financial consequences for privacy violations are escalating, even if damages remain below consumer expectations.Government Spyware DeploymentCivil liberties are increasingly tested by state adoption of invasive surveillance tools. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement resumed a $2M deal for Graphite spyware, capable of infiltrating encrypted apps and activating microphones. The contract proceeded after regulatory hurdles were bypassed through a U.S. acquisition of its Israeli parent company, raising alarms about due process, counterintelligence risks, and surveillance overreach.Emerging InnovationsNot all developments are regressive. Philips Hue's “MotionAware” demonstrates benign repurposing of smart home technology, transforming bulbs into RF-based motion sensors with AI-powered interpretation. Meanwhile, Switzerland's Apertus project launched an open-source LLM designed with transparency and privacy at its core—providing public access to weights, training data, and checkpoints, framing AI as digital infrastructure for the public good.The digital environment is marked by intensifying threats: faster, cheaper, and more pervasive attacks, systemic insecurity in consumer technologies, corporate and governmental encroachments on privacy, and the weaponization of formats once considered harmless. Yet, the emergence of open, privacy-first AI and the creative repurposing of consumer tech illustrate parallel efforts to realign innovation with security and transparency. The result is a complex, high-velocity ecosystem where defensive strategies must adapt as quickly as offensive capabilities evolve.Conclusion

For two decades, the nation's solution to homelessness has been pretty straightforward: get people into housing. This approach is known as Housing First, and in California it's even written into state law. But this summer, President Trump signed an executive order reversing this policy, turning a California mandate into a liability.

The Supreme Court cleared the way for Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to continue immigration operations in Southern California. The high court granted President Donald Trump's emergency request to overturn a ruling that restricted immigration stops in Los Angeles. In a separate case, the chief justice allowed Trump to remove a member of the Federal Trade Commission.Trump is still eyeing Chicago for the next crime crackdown. The Department of Homeland Security has already stepped up operations there, as Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker maintains his opposition to federal deployment.France's government fell Monday after Parliament voted against a confidence motion in the prime minister.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — Border czar Tom Homan says there will be more workplace immigration raids like the one at a Georgia Hyundai plant last week.  Homan's comments come after Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents arrested hundreds of people Thursday at the electric battery plant, most of whom were South Koreans here illegally.   Two ---  The trial for the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump starts today in Florida. Jury selection in Ryan Routh's trial at the federal courthouse in Fort Pierce is scheduled to get underway.  Earlier this summer, a judge ruled Routh can defend himself, after advising him against it. Routh is accused of staking out Trump for 12 hours with a rifle on Trump's golf course in September 2024. And number three ---    A Michigan State Police helicopter crew is credited with rescuing a California woman who got lost in Pigeon River State Forest while competing in a YouTube survival challenge.  Officials say she was reported missing early Saturday before being spotted by the aircraft's camera later that morning.

A young woman clings to a tree as masked men try to peel her off. The men wrench one of the woman's arms behind her back, then stuff her into the back of an unmarked SUV as bystanders film and shout. She was selling food outside a Home Depot in West Los Angeles when federal agents chased her down and arrested her.  Videos of aggressive immigration raids like this have become commonplace as the Trump administration pursues its goal of deporting millions of people over the next four years. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is arresting people in front of their kids during school dropoffs, on the way to church, and at routine check-ins at immigration offices. Communities are pushing back, leading to clashes with police and protests. These raids are remaking the country. “Being forced apart like this is tearing through the heart of our home and community,” says Cecelia Lizotte, the sister of a Nigerian man in ICE detention.This week on Reveal, producers Katie Mingle and Steven Rascón and reporter Julia Lurie tell stories about the people swept up in President Donald Trump's mass deportations and the families that are left behind.  Support Reveal's journalism at Revealnews.org/donatenow Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at Revealnews.org/weekly Connect with us onBluesky, Facebook and Instagram Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Hundreds of people came to the Cedar Rapids Immigrations and Customs Enforcement office Tuesday morning as non-U.S. citizens had their immigration check-in appointments.

The Trump administration is preparing a major Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation in Chicago, and it may come as soon as this week. The details have been few and far between, but it would likely increase the number of ICE and Border Patrol agents in the city significantly. According to “border czar” Tom Homan, the White House is even considering taking over a Naval base north of Chicago to hold the “large contingent” of federal agents. Chicago, unsurprisingly, has long been in the crosshairs of President Donald Trump's threats to federally invade cities as part of his so-called crackdown on crime. And Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is not having it. On Saturday, he signed an executive order instructing local police not to cooperate with troops or federal agents if the President's threats come to fruition. For more on the impact that federal arrests have on federal courts, we spoke with Jessica Brand, a lawyer and Executive Director of Wren Collective, a non-profit aimed at criminal justice reform and prosecutorial power.And in headlines: Congress is back in session, a federal judge blocks the Trump administration from deporting hundreds of migrant children to Guatemala, and more than 800 demonstrations take place across the country on Labor Day to protest billionaires taking over the government.Show Notes:Learn more about The Wren CollectiveCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Trump was losing in the courts. He's not anymore.In the early months of the administration, the courts were proving a powerful check on President Trump, blocking many of his boldest actions. But those were the lower courts. In the past few months, the Supreme Court has weighed in, and it has handed Trump win after win after win.So what do these decisions enable the president to do? And why is the Supreme Court giving Trump what he wants?To pull all this apart, I'm joined by Kate Shaw. She is a former Supreme Court law clerk, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and a host of the “Strict Scrutiny” podcast.Note: This episode was recorded on Aug. 21, before Trump announced his intention to fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and before Immigration and Customs Enforcement re-arrested Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia and began processing him for deportation to Uganda.Mentioned:“Don't Believe Him” by Ezra Klein“This Is the Presidency John Roberts Has Built” by Peter M.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement is trying to triple its ranks of deportation officers. Flush with cash from President Trump's “one big, beautiful bill,” the agency is attempting to recruit and train an additional 10,000 officers. The push comes as the White House has set a goal of a million deportations by the end of Trump's first year in office. It's a pace that is roughly double what ICE is currently on track to achieve.

(The Center Square) – A group of Washington state Republican senators, including 31st Legislative District Sen. Phil Fortunato of Auburn, are calling for the repeal of a state law that limits law enforcement's cooperation with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. The Keep Washington Working Act, adopted in 2019, restricts local law enforcement from using local resources to help federal officials enforce immigration law and prevents local law enforcement from sharing nonpublic information with federal officials in most cases.

The Keep Washington Working Act, adopted in 2019, restricts local law enforcement from using local resources to help federal officials enforce immigration law and prevents local law enforcement from sharing nonpublic information with federal officials in most cases. Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxx Read more: https://www.thecentersquare.com/washington/article_819e162f-dade-4e9f-9c09-f8d40021da26.html

Governor Ferguson continues to defy demands from the Trump Administration to end Washington’s “sanctuary state” policies. But lawmakers say there’s one place here where protections for immigrants are falling short: state prisons. That, says Tacoma state Representative Sharlett Mena, means the state isn’t doing everything it could to keep Washingtonians safe. According to reporting from the Washington State Standard, dozens of lawmakers are calling for the state Department of Corrections to change the way it interacts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That effort may see some headwinds, however. Governor Bob Ferguson and Attorney General Nick Brown both say they don’t see any need to alter state policy.

The Trump administration is deploying a new strategy to speed up deportations. Government lawyers are asking immigration judges to dismiss on-going cases. Then, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents arrest people as soon as they step out of the courtroom. The process is often chaotic. And for immigrants without legal status, it's also very risky. NPR immigration policy reporter Ximena Bustillo went to an immigration court in New York City to see how that process unfolds – and found herself experiencing some of the chaos firsthand.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Sarah Ventre, Avery Keatley and Connor Donevan, with audio engineering by Jimmy Keeley. It was edited by Anna Yukhananov and William Troop. Our executive producer is Sami Yenigun.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Yesterday Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California, the state with the highest poverty rate in the nation, held a political rally to announce his resistance to the pro-America policies of President Donald J. Trump—and Trump responded with exactly the kind of pro-America smash-mouth politics that I—and I expect YOU—voted for a million times over!Even as Newsom, the California governor of an illegal migrant third-world invader sanctuary state, and Karen Bass, the Los Angeles mayor of an illegal migrant third-world invader sanctuary city, were seeking to rally their supporters inside, Immigration and Customs Enforcement were present OUTSIDE and IN FORCE, making arrests of any illegal migrant third-world invaders that popped up on their radar screen.  Next stop for those arrested? HOME!  Whether that be Mexico, Guatemala, Venezuela, Haiti, or if home won't take them perhaps Djibouti or the tropical prison resort of CECOT in El Salvador!  GREAT WORK ICE, and thanks again for ALL THE WINNING, President Trump!The #1 guide for understanding when using force to protect yourself is legal.

We're starting to hear the horror stories from some of the Venezuelan men who the Trump Administration deported to the Salvadoran super-max prison known as CECOT. Many of the migrants, who were abruptly released and sent back to Venezuela last month as part of a prisoner exchange with the U.S., allege they suffered physical, psychological and sexual abuse during their detention. At least one man is trying to sue the U.S. government over his time in CECOT. And then there's Andry José Hernández Romero, the gay makeup artist whose story garnered national attention after his arrest. He says he faced constant harassment in the prison because of his sexual orientation. Melissa Shepard, director of legal services at the Immigrant Defenders Law Center and one of Romero's legal representatives, joins us to talk his story and others who were detained at CECOT.And in headlines: President Donald Trump suggested he may soon meet in person with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Texas Democrats were forced to evacuate their Illinois hotel because of a fake bomb threat, and the Department of Homeland Security lifted age limits on Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.Show Notes:Check out Immigrant Defenders Law Center – www.immdef.org/Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

ICE is expanding a controversial surveillance program. Today, our reporter shares how he learned about it, and what The Post uncovered about the company that stands to profit.Read more:Last month, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement directed personnel to sharply increase the number of immigrants they shackle with GPS-enabled ankle monitors. ICE is targeting about 183,000 people with the expansion of the policy, all enrolled in the agency's Alternatives to Detention program. The move marks a significant expansion of a 20-year-old surveillance practice steeped in controversy. While tracking devices are cheaper and arguably more humane than detention, immigrants and their advocates have long criticized the government's use of the bulky black ankle bands, which they say are physically uncomfortable and impose a social stigma for the people wearing them, many of whom have no criminal record or history of missed court appointments.Today on “Post Reports,” corporate accountability reporter Douglas MacMillan joins Elahe Izadi to discuss why the agency is expanding this program and who stands to benefit.Today's show was produced by Rennie Svirnovskiy. It was edited by Maggie Penman and mixed by Sean Carter. Thanks to Silvia Foster-Frau, Tadeo Ruiz Sandoval, Sabby Robinson and Christine Armario.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.
