À propos de ce contenu audio

 Today’s Headlines: Democrats and the White House cut a last-minute deal to stop a government shutdown, temporarily boosting ICE funding while they argue over whether the agency should at least identify itself. The deal keeps most of the government running through September. ICE says it’s “drawing down” operations in Minnesota, but the damage is already done. Lawmakers visited a Texas detention facility where 5-year-old Liam Ramos is being held after being detained in Minnesota. His father says Liam is sick, withdrawn, and lethargic. New reporting shows just how much surveillance power ICE actually has, from facial recognition and license plate readers to phone location data, drones, and phone-hacking tools. On top of that, ICE is asking ad-tech and data brokers for access to location data. TikTok users say anti-ICE videos are mysteriously failing to upload or disappearing after the platform’s ownership change. TikTok says it’s a glitch. Sure. Meanwhile, Trump’s acting cybersecurity chief reportedly uploaded sensitive government documents to a public version of ChatGPT, which is now being investigated by DHS. States are getting ready for possible ICE activity. New Jersey’s new governor announced plans for a public database where people can upload videos of ICE encounters, plus expanded “know your rights” efforts. In non-ICE related news, a major lawsuit over social media’s impact on kids moves forward against Meta and YouTube after TikTok and Snap settled at the last second, there are reports that the Trump administration quietly met with Canadian separatists in Alberta, Tulsi Gabbard resurfaces in Georgia, and—because there’s always a grift—Melania Trump already teasing a spinoff to her undersold documentary.
