Women who miscarry and don’t receive proper treatment, including an ultrasound and other tests to ensure that their pregnancy tissue has been vacated from their body, could experience infection and other severe complications, Ottenheimer said.
“These incarcerated women are not getting the prenatal visits that they’re supposed to get. They’re not getting high-risk prenatal visits if they need them. And if they do miscarry, the medical care they receive is minimal to none,” Ottenheimer said.
Christina Davidson, the chief medical officer of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said in July that “placing and holding pregnant patients in detention poses serious medical and mental health risks for both the pregnant patient and fetus”. Lapses in care at detention facilities, she added, could escalate treatable conditions into life-threatening emergencies.

BASH: He's a US citizen
MARKWAYNE MULLIN: He wasn't arrested
BASH: He was arrested. He was later released, but he was arrested. Do Americans need to carry around proof of citizenship now?
MULLIN: If you're a citizen, you have no reason to fear
lol Markwayne Mullin straight lying to the camera
ICE has standards?Torture, forced disappearances, denial of sanitary food and water, denial of healthcare and recreation, detention beyond two days, etc.

ICE raided a Hyundai factory last year, detaining and abusing 300 Korean workers
They're preparing to sue the US government under the FTCA
More than 300 South Korean workers detained in a high-profile immigration raid at a Hyundai Motor Group-LG Energy Solution joint venture battery plant in the U.S. state of Georgia last year have begun taking steps toward legal action against the U.S. government, CNN reported Tuesday.The workers have started filing administrative claims with nine federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection, the FBI and the departments of justice and labor.
The filings are a required step before the workers can pursue lawsuits against the federal government under the Federal Tort Claims Act. A Korean attorney representing the workers said she aims to file claims on behalf of all of them by the end of the year.
https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/world/2...r-georgia-raidThe claims allege that workers were unlawfully detained during the raid on Sept. 4, 2025, and subjected to poor conditions while held at an ICE detention facility. They are seeking damages for lost work, confiscated belongings and psychological harm, among other claims.
Federal authorities detained 475 workers during the operation at the sprawling Hyundai manufacturing complex in Ellabell, Georgia, most of them South Koreans. The search warrant underlying the operation identified just four target individuals, none of whom were among the Korean workers detained, according to CNN.
DHS said ICE executed a judicial search warrant as part of an investigation into alleged unlawful employment practices and other federal crimes. Authorities said at the time that those detained were suspected of living or working illegally in the United States.
Some of the South Korean workers have since returned to the U.S. to work at battery plants, in some cases using the same B-1 visas they held at the time of the Georgia raid.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other...nt/ar-AA2choUbA worker detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during a 2025 raid of the Hyundai plant in Ellabell filed a Federal Tort Claims Act claim to sue the U.S. government, according to a release from Asian Americans Advancing Justice.

ICE lies, gets violent, smears people publicly without evidence and breaks the law
https://blockclubchicago.org/2026/09...what-happened/I was surprised to get an email recently from the FOIA office within Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Usually our relationship is one-sided: I write the agency asking for records under the Freedom of Information Act; no one responds; I follow up; I wait some more.
Last year, after ICE ignored a previous request of mine — as well as ten follow-up messages over several months — Block Club sued the agency for FOIA violations. That case is still in court.
But every so often I get a response, usually an unsigned form letter that doesn’t include the information I’ve requested. It’s literally nothing personal.
This time, though, the email was different: It was a form letter, but it was signed (electronically) by a deputy FOIA officer named Megan.
Even better, the message informed me that ICE had do ents to share: “A search of the ICE Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) for records responsive to your request produced 1 pages …”
One page — such a small number that it made the form letter grammatically incorrect.
It’s a revealing number as well, because it shows that Trump administration officials are still concealing evidence of what they did during Operation Midway Blitz last year.
This saga goes back to Sept. 19, 2025. Early that morning, protesters gathered outside the ICE facility in suburban Broadview to speak out against the recently-launched federal show of force in Chicago.
A number of demonstrators tried to block the entrance to the facility. Around 8:30 a.m., federal agents responded by throwing tear gas, firing pepper balls and physically assaulting protesters, according to journalists from Block Club and other news outlets who do ented what was happening.
The violence continued off and on for hours.

But the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which encompasses ICE,called the protesters “rioters,” saying they “assaulted law enforcement, threw tear gas cans, slashed tires of cars, blocked the entrance of the building, and trespassed on private property.”
The version of events in the DHS press release was so different from what journalists on the ground do ented that I had to wonder where it came from. Is that what agents in the middle of the violence claimed in their incident reports? Or did public relations staffers spin their own stories?
To find out, I sent a request to ICE under the Freedom of Information Act — the law that, with a few exceptions, says the public has the right to see records produced by the government.
This request asked for copies of ICE reports for “incidents that involved protests, riots, arrests, and/or the use of tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades” outside the Broadview facility on Sept. 19.
ICE should have what I asked for. Under the agency’s own rules, agents are required to provide verbal reports after they use force. Their supervisors are then required to complete written reports. On a day agents used force repeatedly, they should have produced a lot of records.
But over the next few weeks, ICE’s FOIA office didn’t send me anything.

Meanwhile, Midway Blitz agents apprehended hundreds of people and attacked protesters and bystanders with tear gas dozens of times. Block Club and other news organizations sued the federal government, arguing agents’ uses of force violated the First Amendment.
ICE still had not sent me anything by Nov. 20, when U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis issued a 233-page opinion blasting the practices of federal authorities during Operation Midway Blitz. Fourteen pages of the opinion detailed what happened outside the Broadview ICE facility on Sept. 19, drawing from witness testimony as well as dozens of body-camera videos and reports from Border Patrol and Homeland Security Investigations, another agency under DHS.
Agents said some protesters that day were unruly and aggressive, including several who threw rocks and other items. But Ellis stressed that federal authorities repeatedly responded with violence. Clergy, journalists and nonviolent demonstrators were among the targets.

Ellis also noted that an email from ICE leadership reported its agents arrested nine people on Sept. 19 and used tear gas “to de-escalate the crowd’s aggression.”
But even after the judge quoted from ICE’s own records in a public ruling, the agency told me it hadn’t found anything yet.
On Dec. 4 at 7:03 a.m., I received an email from Megan, the deputy FOIA officer. She informed me that ICE conducted a search “and no records responsive to your request were found.”
Seven minutes later, before I even had time to vent to a colleague, I received another email from ICE. This one was unsigned and contradicted the message from Megan.
“As of today, your request has been assigned to a processor and your request is being reviewed,” it said.
For months, ICE officials kept saying a FOIA request for records from Sept. 19, 2025, was “being reviewed.”
More than a month and a half passed. Then, on Jan. 27, I received another email that broke the exact same news: “As of today, your request has been assigned to a processor and your request is being reviewed.”
By then, hundreds of pages of records produced during the First Amendment lawsuit were available to the public. They left me even more curious about why ICE had to search so long to find the materials I’d asked for.
For example, one Border Patrol report released through the court case detailed the use of force by ICE officers on the morning of Sept. 19. It said protesters blocked and sat on the bumper of a minivan that an ICE agent was driving to take a detainee away from the facility. “ICE Special Response Team (SRT) Agents attempted to disperse the protesters and deployed chemical gas to the ground in front of the minivan,” the report said.

Credit: Audrey Richardson for Block Club ChicagoAccording to another report, also from Border Patrol, ICE agents fired pepper balls at protesters on the evening of Sept. 19. After some protesters threw rocks, a Border Patrol agent used tear gas: “I pulled the pin,” he said in the report, and “quickly escaped” with another agent from Border Patrol and two from ICE.
And a statement introduced to the court from Russell Hott, a former ICE field director, said ICE agents arrested protesters for “assault, obstruction, and trespassing that day.”
ICE rules require agents to keep records of arrests, just like uses of force.
Yet somehow ICE couldn’t find its own do entation of any of those incidents or arrests in response to my FOIA.
On April 21, I finally received an update, which was the same update I’d already received: “As of today, your request has been assigned to a processor and your request is being reviewed.”
A pattern was emerging: ICE continued to conceal and delay.
That’s why I was shocked to get the email on Aug. 21 informing me ICE had found records in response to my request from 11 months earlier.
One page.
This:
ICE officials said this one page is the only record they could find about agents’ clashes with protesters in Broadview on Sept. 19, 2025.
The single page was a memo emailed on Sept. 19, 2025. In the copy provided to me, ICE covered up the name and address of the sender with the legal code of privacy exemptions in the FOIA. The memo was addressed to the agency’s Enforcement and Removal Operations field leadership.
It recounted how some protesters had lain down to block the entrance to the Broadview ICE facility.
“During the encounter, [ICE] operators were obligated to utilize hard techniques to control the arrestees,” the memo said. “However, the crowd continued its aggression, and ICE was obligated to deploy CS [tear] gas to deescalate the aggression of the crowd and protect life and property.”
The do ent offers a snapshot of how federal authorities framed the Broadview protests and their attacks on protesters.
But after “searching” for almost a year, ICE somehow couldn’t find any other reports on the incidents in Broadview on Sept. 19, 2025. No reports on its “hard techniques” or other uses of force. No reports on the arrests by its agents, or the alleged “assaults” against them. No memos or communications with Border Patrol, Homeland Security Investigations, DHS or other federal agencies that have, through lawsuits and other FOIAs, produced lots of records about the violence that day.
Maybe ICE officials really were unable to find any more records about Sept. 19, which would be hard to do. Perhaps they didn’t create more than “1 pages” of records that day, which would be against their own rules. Or maybe they decided not to share any more information with me, which would be against the law.

"papers, please"
https://evanstonnow.com/federal-agen...unday-morning/"He said the individual refused to provide identification, was detained for fingerprinting, and resisted detention. Agents later determined he was not the person they were seeking and learned that he was a U.S. citizen. He was released."
The incident occurred in the 1700 block of Howard Street around 9:50 a.m., Stewart said, after officers were dispatched after an “unknown caller reported hearing two males arguing and someone stating that an individual would be taken into custody.”
Police said they responded to an adult male on the ground “with several people assisting him.”
The man reported injuries to his head, neck and teeth, police said, and witnesses “told officers that individuals they believed were U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had attempted to take him into custody.”
In a post on social media, Mayor Daniel Biss said federal agents “briefly detained and then released” the man, who he said was a U.S. citizen. He was transported by ambulance and treated for “minor injuries” at St. Francis Hospital.
is this what the good guys look like?
Evanston police chief Schenita Stewart tells me that EPD contacted the agents involved, including one who had blood on their hands
The agent "told the officer that agents had attempted to identify an individual who resembled a person they were seeking."

black site immigration dockets
secret courtrooms for secret police
https://www.thecityreporter.nyc/2026...ion-manhattan/The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Executive Office for Immigration Review have blocked court observers, reporters and attorneys from several new immigration courtrooms inside 26 Federal Plaza this month.
EOIR, a branch of the Justice Department, started sending immigrants attending routine deportation hearings without lawyers to these private courtrooms on Sept. 14. Dubbed the “black site docket” by some immigration and transparency advocates, the courtrooms are on the third floor, which is overseen by DHS.
Traditional immigration courtrooms on two floors inside 26 Federal Plaza are overseen by EOIR. By law and a recent court order, these courtrooms are supposed to be open to the public, except for certain privacy exceptions or capacity issues.
But when The City Reporter tried to enter one of the new immigration courtrooms on the third floor Monday, security guards barred the reporter from entering. A DHS police inspector later threatened The City Reporter with arrest for trying to wait in an elevator bank outside the new courtrooms.
