La tardanza en la atención médica provocó que el tumor que tenía Ruth López creciera por lo que tuvo que ser sometida a una cirugía de extirpación en mayo pasado, denuncia Claudia López. La entrevista completa aquí. https://t.co/8Wg2jkfr2q

WH had already, almost certainly, signed off on the order to pause ICE vehicle stops. But Trump reversed course after "criticism" from "MAGA influencer Tomi Lahren, former Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino, and the War Room podcaster Steve Bannon."

[Jenna Johnson @Jenna_DC]

DHS and ICE officials told @NickMiroff and @JonLemire that it was highly unlikely that Mullin didn't get White House approval to halt ICE vehicle stops. “Not a chance,” one said. “Someone got into the big boss’s ear. Three-ring circus.” https://t.co/wQ2mvFkq1v

According to Cristosal, Ruth López is one of 86 political prisoners in El Salvador and among the 245 people who have been persecuted politically as of May 2026.

Access to López’s judicial case file remains restricted, just as it is for over 91,000 people captured during El Salvador’s state of exception since 2022.

"If we torture them enough, they'll just throw in the towel and abandon whatever legal case they might have."

@Timodc and @JonathanBlitzer on the deadly conditions at Camp East Montana, where guards allegedly bet on detainee suicides and three people died in just over 40 days.

[Jonathan Blitzer @JonathanBlitzer]

In this week's @NewYorker, I wrote about Camp East Montana, the Administration's largest immigration-detention facility, and what it's meant on a human level to the people who've been held there and to their families. https://t.co/Tc9SCoQy6i

BREAKING: The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals just ruled 2-1 that ICE cannot detain people under the Trump administration's massive new detention policy for more than 90 days without affording them a bond hearing.

DACA renewal delays are leaving Dreamers worried about lapses in work permits and protection from deportation. When processing slows, people lose jobs and status through no fault of their own. Reporting by @Documentedny:

NEW: In the coming weeks, the US plans to provide a welcome gift to white South Africans.

They will get an Android tablet, an American flag. They will also receive a packet of literature that provides a sanitized, Trump-approved view of American and South African history.

[Luis Ferré-Sadurní @luisferre]

NEW: A federal judge blocked ICE agents nationwide from making arrests inside immigration courts.

The ruling halts what had been one of the most aggressive aspects of President Trump’s mass deportation campaign.

Shocking on every level. Miller proposed ending habeas corpus for undocumented immigrants—at a time when the gov't was disappearing Venezuelans to El Salvador; systematically blocking bond; & making hundreds of thousands of ppl undocumented by terminating their legal status.

“Las redadas antinmigrantes son un laboratorio del autoritarismo en Estados Unidos”. @JonathanBlitzer, @NewYorker: “Son prácticas brutales, usan agentes enmascarados en vehículos sin placas, están capturando gente que sí tiene un estatus legal”

Qué librazo se aventó mi amigo @JonathanBlitzer. Me ha explicado tantas cosas de mi historia que yo no entendía.

Importante: Una fuente del Gobierno del presidente Bernardo Arévalo, que habló bajo la condición de anonimato, rebajó este jueves en una conversación con EL PAÍS el alcance de esa información. “Desde hace dos meses están ejerciendo una gran presión; lo que nos ofrecieron es seleccionar uno o dos lugares para hacer bombardeos y televisarlo todo. Pero hemos sido claros en que eso no va a pasar. No puede operar una fuerza militar estadounidense en el país, simplemente porque es inconstitucional”, afirmó. https://t.co/LyDWMaSsbe
