For the last two years, I’ve been speaking w the Timothee family about Benine’s life - and the circumstances around her death.

Six years after she was shot & killed, there have been no arrests. No suspects.

But there is a theory — and it involves a cover up.

[Last Seen Podcast @LastSeenPodcast]

Listen to our new mini-series, 'A Family's Peace,' about a family's quest for truth.

Benine Timothee was just 36-years-old when she was shot and killed in broad daylight. But no one knows who killed Benine and why.

Many would-be asylum seekers have left border cities like Tijuana since Trump took office.

But for thousands who remain, their hope of a legal pathway has dissolved into scenes of uncertainty.

In the last three weeks, the Trump administration has purged federal law enforcement agencies of prosecutors and investigators who’d been pursuing white supremacist groups that had been listed among the most dangerous threats to national security.

🚨There are now 4 MILLION deportation cases pending at the US immigration courts

With new data out, record high total shows what a monumental challenge US govt. faces trying to execute Trump's mass deportation plans

Backlog has doubled since FY 2021

New: David Fotouhi, a lawyer who recently challenged a ban on asbestos, worked to roll back climate regulations and water protections while serving in the Environmental Protection Agency during Trump's first administration. https://t.co/hcHT8y6yFT

Seems to me that 8 years ago, we would’ve found out about a shift in enforcement like this only after hearing about arrests in schools and hospitals.

Trump 2.0 isn’t hiding anything this go around, but instead issuing statements.

The fear is the point. https://t.co/9fww0sHxB0

Congress underfunds tribal colleges by $250 million per year. The outcome is crimped budgets and crumbling buildings in what the U.S. Civil Rights Commission once called the “most poorly funded institutions of higher education in the country": https://t.co/enxAndZBDB

The real reason Texas can't control its border: it needs the migrants too badly.

For 8 months, I've investigated undocumented construction workers, the bosses hiring them, and the politicians who look the other way:

Leaked docs: While Gaza starved, USAID and State's refugees bureau came to a legally explosive conclusion — Israel had deliberately prevented food & medicine from getting in

But Blinken told congress the exact opposite, so the arms could keep flowing. https://t.co/htCXXLalxL
