ICE detainees waiting for their cases to be heard are asking immigration judges to release them on bond. Most fail.

Our reporting team went to 55 immigration court bond hearings across five states.

Here’s what we saw:

A single juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial appeared to be blocking a verdict, her lead defense lawyer said. The judge denied a request to remove the juror and sent the jury back to continue deliberating. Follow live updates. https://t.co/Eas6EJ7hy7

Breaking News: Jurors are deadlocked on the fourth day of deliberations in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial, after 18 hours of discussing the case. The judge told them to keep trying. https://t.co/0fsKAj34Yd

New w/ Maia Spoto & Jill Cowan: Video and other court evidence show federal immigration agents using slurs and targeting Latinos in Chicago and Los Angeles. But whether the tactics are legal remains an open question being tested in cases across the country https://t.co/fLEKVEDE6E

SCOOP: Stephen Miller was driving force behind DOJ memo eroding decades of disability rights protections. His push was rooted in a view - not backed by evidence - that de-institutionalizing people w/ disabilities increases homelessness. w/ @cecelou18 https://t.co/E2M24KOhNZ

Here's Lacy Reynolds gliding to the ground on Sunday after skydiving out of a plane on "Load #2" in Butler, Missouri.

She was planning to head up again on Load #4. But instead she watched from the ground as the next flight ended in disaster. https://t.co/89LXyi8RZO

[Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs @NickAtNews]

She'd skydived roughly 600 times. But Lacy Reynolds thought Sunday might be her last after watching a plane with 12 people, many her skydiving friends, burn in a Missouri field.

An incredible tale of loss, grief and resilience from @maia_spoto: https://t.co/89LXyi8RZO

Lacy Reynolds was waiting to catch the next flight when the skydiving plane crashed in Butler, Mo., killing 11 passengers and a pilot.

She wasn��t sure she could keep skydiving. w/ @NickAtNews

California sent investigators into ICE detention centers. Detainees wept in interviews https://t.co/ONlxmpTL9t our latest w/@MrOlmos

US Judge Alan Albright gave signs he wasn't enjoying the job before his surprise resignation last week, @BLaw discovered.

From a big case backlog to holding hearings virtually to farming out his docket to a Magistrate, Albright was over it.

No paywall.

Trump’s top federal prosecutor in LA — one of the most powerful in the region — keeps this mug in his office.

Bill Essayli declined an interview and didn’t answer written questions but his office did share this pic.

Secret memos by Supreme Court justices, obtained by The New York Times, show how they decided to bypass time-tested procedures and create the modern “shadow docket,” a controversial new way of doing business. https://t.co/xNu6GXxmdl

Back in 2021, I did an investigative series for Business Insider about toxic workplace culture and bad bosses in Congress.

People rightly question why allegations take years to surface. But staffers told me they have no safe reporting mechanism, and speaking out ends careers

“I had a colleague in that case who wrote, you know, these are only temporary stops," Sotomayor said. "This is from a man whose parents were professionals. And probably doesn’t really know any person who works by the hour." https://t.co/BVhLLWVTpY

This week, I attended separate assault on a federal officer trials tied to immigration protests. Neither case ended well for prosecutors, who haven’t won any of these assault cases at trial. A judge called it “amateur hour at the U.S. attorney’s office.”
