Reporting Highlights

  • More Moms Deported: An exclusive data analysis found Trump has deported moms of U.S. citizens at four times the rate of his predecessor.
  • Left Stranded: Because American-born kids can't legally join their parents in immigration detention, some end up with friends or strangers when their parents are detained or deported.
  • New Directive: Trump administration officials revised a document advising how ICE officers should interact with parents, removing the word "humane."

Tania Warner says she has documents showing she is in the US legally, but immigration agents were not swayed

A Canadian woman who has been imprisoned with her seven-year-old daughter by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has cautioned other immigrants that they are at risk of detention, even if they follow the correct legal process – and warned them to keep out of sight for as long as Donald Trump is president.

“Don’t go anywhere near a checkpoint, and if your papers are in processing, just lay low. Trump meant what he said – he is trying to get rid of everyone, whether they are good or bad,” said Tania Warner, 47, who is currently held with her autistic daughter, Ayla, at the Dilley immigration processing center in south Texas.

“The people in here are not criminals … They’ve had their dignity and their freedom stripped from them because they have their papers processing,” she told the Guardian. “You shouldn’t be putting children, families in jail. It’s unjust.”

The pair moved from British Columbia to Kingsville, Texas, in 2021 when Warner married Edward Warner, who is a US citizen.

Alexia Moore was arrested under a Georgia law that bans abortions after detection of embryonic cardiac activity

A Georgia judge set a $1 bond for a woman facing murder charges tied to allegations she used abortion pills to end a pregnancy, potentially paving the way for a possible reduction or dismissal of charges.

Alexia Moore, 31, was arrested by police in Savannah earlier this month on a warrant that echoed a 2019 Georgia law banning abortions after embryonic cardiac activity can be detected.

Moore was charged with murder after police determined she had been pregnant beyond six weeks “based on the medical staff’s knowledge that the baby had a beating heart and was struggling to breathe”.

Delta, like other U.S. airlines, typically provides special services for lawmakers who fly frequently back and forth from Washington

Delta Air Lines is suspending special services for members of Congress, citing the impact of a partial government shutdown that has wreaked havoc on U.S. air travel.

"Due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown, Delta will temporarily suspend specialty services to members of Congress flying Delta,” the Atlanta-based U.S. air carrier said in a statement.

“Next to safety, Delta’s no. 1 priority is taking care of our people and customers, which has become increasingly difficult in the current environment.”

Members of Congress will not get airport escorts or VIP treatment for other services like seat upgrades or rebooking, the airline said, though lawmakers will still have access to a special phone line for reservations.

The jury found that Meta violated New Mexico’s consumer protection law. Meta had denied the allegations, saying it has extensive safeguards in place to protect younger users.

A New Mexico jury on Tuesday found Meta Platforms violated state law in a lawsuit brought by the state attorney general, who accused the company of misleading users about the safety of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp and of enabling child sexual exploitation on those platforms.

The jury found that Meta violated New Mexico’s consumer protection law and ordered the company to pay $375 million in civil penalties.

The jury’s decision capped a six-week trial and marked the first jury verdict on these claims against the social media company, as it faces a broader challenge over how its platforms affect young people’s mental health.

I'm mainly talking about:

  • Voting (at federal elections)
  • Jury Duty (at a courtroom)

I know that in certain countries like Australia for example: citizens there actually have to vote otherwise they face a A$20 (12€) fine for literally not putting a vote. There was a case where a guy was sued and received a A$303 (182€) fine on top of that for disregarding the previous penalities. To me, that sounds stupid, voting shouldn't be "forced" down on citizens, if that's the right way to say it.

What about the scenario you receive a letter from the courts that you're selected as a juror? Let's say you got a letter saying that you've been chosen within a pool and assigned a number (like a draft lottery) whether the courts decide if you're "fit" enough to be a juror at a trial. The thing is, has this happened to you or anyone you know in your country? If so, what is it like receiving a summons?
