A must read thread that accompanies a subtle and beautifully reported story about how local police working as ICE agents has torn apart a small Texas town - by my colleagues @FrancescaDnunz and @McKenzieFunk
Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

Lots of fancy reporter types dunking on this quote and story but the cub reporter bought a local paper and is trying to make it work. We should applaud the effort and not punch down. I’d take a cub reporter who can learn over a private equity bottom line cutting machine.

BREAKING: DHS contractors are toppling the last of four ancient cottonwoods to build double border walls across the San Rafael Valley. The wall cuts through the key remaining wildlife corridor for endangered jaguars between Arizona and Sonora, where human border crossings are seldom seen. A protest camp had occupied and protected this tree for more than 60 days, halting construction. The camp was raided and campers were arrested this morning. This wall will effectively lock the remaining jaguars in the U.S. into solitary confinement, while permanently marring one of the last remaining wild places along the Arizona border.

Last year we obtained internal government records that showed more than 600 children around the US had been placed in federal shelters for unaccompanied children, many of them had been separated from their parents or guardians. This is still happening. propublica.org/article/ice-d…
The Trump administration is still ripping migrant families apart — now, with a quieter tactic. It is a deception that hinges upon one word: “unaccompanied” motherjones.com/politics/202…

My latest alongside @kylieatwood — preliminary discussions are underway on reciprocal US-China nuclear site visits. China initially raised the idea on the sidelines of P5 meetings.
The Trump administration has discussed beginning reciprocal nuclear site visits with China and plans to continue pushing for that possibility during in-person meetings in the coming months, according to sources familiar with the matter. cnn.it/4j12NYZ
