Emiliano Andrade-Covarrubias, who died while in ICE custody on Saturday, was a lawful permanent resident.

ICE said he was detained bc he failed to disclose a 2004 arrest for theft while applying - but his daughter says he did.

Yesterday morning, Emiliano Andrade-Covarrubias was found dead a Laredo federal immigration facility.

He was 56, a Dallas resident, and father of three US citizens.

His daughter told us that his health problems were ignored by staff.

New: Since Texas Gov. Greg Abbott first declared an emergency at the border in 2021, he’s renewed or amended the proclamation at least 69 times. The proclamation has greatly expanded his powers without going through the state Legislature. https://t.co/r9AOfFpVcM

The city of San Antonio has sued the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to block a proposed immigration detention facility, arguing the federal agency failed to review the plan’s environmental impact.

Our new investigation into 500+ U.S. citizens held by immigration agents also features a searchable database for incidents involving minors, tear gas & Americans held 24 hours +

My main takeaway? This is only the tip of the iceberg https://t.co/8Q2I5WILtW

NEW @TexasTribune: Ken Paxton privately suggested he'd support cutting federal benefit programs, per new leaked audio.

Asked about reducing the deficit, he said: “Making some reasonable cuts to mandatory spending - you're gonna have to do it."

"We have to suck it up."

[ProPublica @propublica]

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens.

We are.

500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term.

Our tally is almost certainly an undercount.

A federal judge ruled today that Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, the man shot by ICE on Sept. 20 in Austin, is a flight risk, and will remain in federal criminal custody during his criminal case. #ICE #immigration #Austin

We identified the ICE agent who fired through an open window, killing Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. DHS has withheld the shooter’s name, as it has done for most agents accused in its growing tally of shootings. Local police typically typically ID.

NEW: The ICE shooting of Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in Austin was preceded by weeks of increased ICE activity in the neighborhood + city. This is how one Austin City Council member put it: “It’s ‘Hey, Mexican, come here,’ type of enforcement.”
