Ecuadorians in Minnesota had almost 12,000 pending immigration cases and 1,900+ pending asylum cases before the surge (FOX 9). Two open questions we're working on: whether open cases became an arrest pathway, and whether data from Palantir's Ecuador customs contract reaches ICE. National comparison underway.

Antes del operativo, los ecuatorianos en Minnesota tenían casi 12.000 casos migratorios pendientes y más de 1.900 casos de asilo pendientes (FOX 9). Dos preguntas abiertas en las que trabajamos: si los casos abiertos se convirtieron en una vía de arresto, y si los datos del contrato aduanero de Palantir con Ecuador llegan al ICE. La comparación nacional está en curso.

@alfredovelazco @PalantirTech Our data shows ICE arrests by nationality. It doesn't show what software was used or how anyone was identified.

Nuestros datos muestran arrestos de ICE pro nacionalidad. No muestran qué software se usó ni cómo se identificó a nadie.

The name matters less than the checks. Per officials who spoke to Bloomberg, the Feb 28 Minab school strike traced to a stale database entry that was fed into an AI targeting system and trusted without a fresh look. 123 children died. The Pentagon report is still unreleased.

Re brand all you want. Just verify the data before you kill innocent people.

A major stated reason for ICE's Minnesota surge was deporting undocumented Somali immigrants. ICE's own data: 106 arrests from Somalia, fewer than 3%. Ecuador: 1,026. Mexico: 885.

A judge Trump appointed blocked the ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico, finding no due process and no record of a national security motive. Access was restored Thursday. The order lasts 14 days.

When the White House banned CNN, Fox News' bureau chief announced the TV pool's suspension. In 2009, the networks stood up for Fox the same way — and the Obama White House relented.

In Hungary, 476 outlets were handed to one pro-government foundation. Turkey seized papers and jailed journalists. The U.S. record: outlets barred, suits settled — no seizures, state fines or jailings found.

Pentagon probe on the Minab school strike: 7-year-old imagery, 1,000 targets in 24 hours, civilian-harm staff cut from 10 to 1, and personnel trusting an AI to catch what they'd stopped checking.

Nothing malfunctioned.

Totals for this war run from 2,200 dead to over 18,000, depending who counts.
Iran's state count of its own dead: 3,468. An independent Iranian monitor: 3,636. Opposite incentives, same answer within 200.

Trump banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House. A 2025 ruling for him said press spaces can't be closed over viewpoint. Obama, 2009: tried to cut Fox from one interview, reversed same day.
