Eight years ago, I partnered with @JHDearen to report on the risks from #climate change to the nation’s most hazardous toxic waste dumps. The Trump @EPA called us fear-mongering yellow journalists. Now EPA’s internal watchdog echos our @AP investigation.

The Full-Body Restraint Prohibition Act would bar @DHSgov from using the WRAP

People confined during deportation flights told me and @JHDearen it was akin to torture

It's also been tied to several in-custody deaths involving local law enforcement
