Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

After arriving at 26 Federal Plaza at 7 a.m., Ingrid said, she and her children were detained in hold rooms for 12 hours, along with three other families. She said her family received just one meal and that her daughter — who had a fever — was denied medicine.

Under ICE’s own rules, children aren't supposed to be detained in hold rooms unless they have “demonstrated or threatened violent behavior, have a history of criminal activity, or pose an escape risk.” That means even for short periods of time, said Eunice Cho, an ACLU attorney representing detainees at 26 Federal Plaza and who has reviewed the internal regulations.

But Ingrid’s children are among the dozens who have been detained under President Donald Trump’s administration at ICE hold rooms in Lower Manhattan, according to a Gothamist analysis of ICE data. The revelations come as the number of children in ICE custody nationwide has skyrocketed, as the federal government intensifies its immigration enforcement.

To be fair, the reporting of this article is talking about detentions that occurred between Jan and Oct 2025, and one specific case in Dec 2025. I haven't yet seen data from 2026, after Mamdani banned ICE from City property and made people aware of their rights.

So this is part of Adams' deal with Homan to save his own ass from prosecution by surrendering NYC to ICE.
