The devices, developed by Compliant Technology, are intended to assist officers during immigration operations and are designed to avoid affecting pacemakers or defibrillators. The cost of the program is estimated at $20 million, with distribution expected by March 2027.

The letter sent to multiple federal agencies highlights concerns about ICE arresting former service members and active-duty personnel, with figures indicating 125 former military members were detained between January 2025 and January 2026. The lawmakers argue this contradicts longstanding American tradition, which historically granted expedited citizenship to immigrant soldiers who served honorably. According to historical data, over 800,000 individuals have gained U.S. citizenship through military service since World War I, including nearly 190,000 post-9/11 and over 50,000 under the Biden administration.

Molina claims she was dropping off business cards for immigration lawyers and was not following the agents. She yelled at the agents, which they interpreted as an attempt to run them over.

The NationIndependentProgressiveFactual 50Objective 6010 days agoThe article reports that under the Trump administration, legal aid for unaccompanied migrant children in the U.S. is being drastically reduced, raising concerns about the ability of these children to receive proper representation in immigration court. Federal funding that supported legal aid networks like the Galveston-Houston Immigrant Representation Project (GHIRP), which served over 500 children, has expired. In its place, the administration has allocated funds to two organizations, one linked to former ICE agents with allegations of misconduct, and another with no demonstrated expertise in legal aid. As a result, many legal aid groups are shutting down or reducing services, while immigration enforcement is intensifying efforts against children and families. This shift threatens to overwhelm the system, leaving thousands of children without adequate legal support during critical deportation proceedings.

The emails, obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request from the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), show that ICE, under Acting Director Todd Lyons, planned three charter flights to Iran in coordination with Iranian authorities, sometimes through Qatari intermediaries. These flights occurred shortly before the U.S.-Israel bombing campaign against Iran, known as the Twelve-Day War, which resulted in significant casualties. The deportations targeted individuals, including political activists and religious minorities, many of whom faced potential persecution in Iran. Some deportees were reportedly transported against their will, with reports of physical coercion and suicidal attempts. The actions mark a reversal from longstanding U.S. immigration policies that generally allowed Iranians to remain in the U.S. despite removal orders due to fears of persecution under the Iranian regime.
