My book #Baggage is OUT TODAY!

The moment, admittedly, is a little bittersweet...

In the North Atlantic Ocean, south of Greenland and Iceland, a large patch of water is doing something very strange. While the rest of the ocean heats up, it's been getting colder. A new study says it has the answer to this mystery — and it's an ominous sign the world is hurtling toward one of the most alarming climate tipping points. https://t.co/3IcVwmYXBy

Conservationists are struggling, so I wrote this special article about mental health in the sector. Give it a read!

Many of North America’s birds are in a state of accelerating decline, with over half of 122 species dying out faster, according to a new study. Their vanishing songs are a bellwether of a far deeper biodiversity crisis, researchers say. https://t.co/Yo5nfNQBCt

Pahu and Pari are identified as the last known female Bornean rhinos to exist under conservation care.

The subspecies is considered functionally extinct due to isolation and severe habitat loss from coal mining and palm oil plantations.

Breaking: Nurul Shah Alam — a Rohingya refugee abandoned by Border Patrol last week — has been confirmed dead by Buffalo police.

Nearly blind, he'd been left at a coffee shop Thurs. evening by agents agents 5 miles from his home. He'd been missing since.

You won’t find cleaner waters than the Boundary Waters. Think endless streams of water filled with bass, walleye, trout and northern pike – total wilderness, only accessible via canoe.

Why would we let a Chilean mining company pollute these public lands, take our minerals and ship them off to China?

Juan Nicolás, a two month old suffering from bronchitis who spent three weeks in the Dilley Trailer Prison, has been deported by ICE along with his mother.

They were abandoned across the border in Mexico.

Thanks to @LidiaTerrazas who spoke to Juan Nicolás’ mom shortly after they were left in Mexico.

[Joaquin Castro @JoaquinCastrotx]

I have an update on Juan Nicolás, the 2-month-old baby detained at Dilley, and his mother.

Me and my team have been in contact with Juan’s family. Juan has bronchitis—according to his mom—and at some point in the last several hours he was unresponsive. Juan was still discharged from the hospital despite that around midnight today.

Juan’s mom went in front of an immigration judge this morning. She was told she will be deported, but was not told when or where. Both Juan and his mom are back at Dilley and their future remains uncertain.

We are all deeply concerned that Juan and his mom will be deported and that Juan’s health will continue to deteriorate. His life is in danger because of ICE’s monstrous cruelty. I will continue to provide updates and we will keep fighting to protect them.

🚨BREAKING: The 2-month-old baby, being trafficked in an ICE detention facility, was rushed to the hospital… after choking on his own vomit in custody.

After days of vomiting.

After struggling to breathe.

After his mother says he was choking at 3 a.m. and there was no doctor available...

This is Juan Nicolás.

He is two months old.

He has spent nearly half of his life inside the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley.

A baby. In a detention camp.

Reports say he was dealing with serious respiratory issues and bronchitis. His condition was “monitored” inside the facility… until it escalated enough to require an ambulance.

Read that again.

A two-month-old infant with breathing problems was being “monitored” in detention.

This administration is CHOOSING to confine babies in conditions where they get sick… and waiting until it becomes an emergency to get them medical care.

And Juan is not an isolated incident…

Another baby, Amalia, was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening respiratory illness… then sent back into ICE custody.

Now it’s Juan Nicolás.

When you confine infants in crowded facilities, when they develop respiratory infections, when their care is delayed, when emergency transport becomes the standard response… that is child endangerment.

Detaining babies in environments that make them sick is abuse.

And this administration is choosing to keep doing it.

Because detention is profitable.
Because cruelty is policy.
Because there are no consequences.

If a two-month-old can be locked in a facility, get sick, choke on vomit in the middle of the night, and only receive outside medical care once it becomes life or death emergency…

When will it be enough?

This is what happens when infants become inventory in a detention pipeline.

This is what happens when an administration protects child traffickers…
