NEW: The Trump admin is building a network of super-powerful A.I. cameras at the border. But the cameras have been placed near parks, homes and beaches. Already, more than 1 million people live in areas where these cameras can watch them. nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

The Trump admin is asking a federal judge to agree to looser restrictions on standards at the ICE holding cells in Lower Manhattan. The feds say they don't want to provide pillows (security risk), a light dimmer at night (unclear why), or 24/7 medical services (too expensive).

Mamdani's on the City Hall steps to call for the passage of @tiffany_caban's Delivery Protection Act. It's a bit of an unusual dynamic, as Speaker Menin has yet to chime in on the bill. Mamdani hasn't done a lot of public pushing for Council legislation like this as mayor.

When asked to comment on my recent @NewYorker story, ICE said it doesn't use white SUVs in York, PA. That contradicts multiple witnesses I intervened (as well as photos I had access to). But a reader pointed me to this footage from the York Daily Record: ydr.com/videos/news/local/20…

We saw SUVs leave ICE's facility in York City. Here's what we know

The York Dispatch saw nearly a dozen vehicles take off from the Clugston Road ICE facility on Jan. 20, 2026. Why is the gated parking lot filling up?

Something I find really interesting in the Big Bend wall injunction case –– the gov't has quietly shifted from insisting that the Big Bend is "an area of high illegal entry" urgently in need of wall to a long-term view, where no wall means it's vulnerable to future border crime
