Alexandre Ramagem was sentenced in September to 16 years in prison for his role in the coup attempt by supporters of Bolsonaro in 2023.

For over a month, my office has been going back and forth with ICE officials about Andrea's condition. We have been ignored, put off, and frankly, lied to about the treatment she has received while in detention.

Kordia was arrested in 2024 during the Gaza solidarity protests at Columbia University. The charges against her were dropped the next day, but she was detained in March 2025 by ICE during a routine immigration check-in.

Ludovic has been granted a very low bond! Thank you so much for all of the supporters. We had around 20 people in the court room and over 20 more supporting online. The judge was clearly moved. Everything he said was in favor of Ludovic. We could not have done this all without you!

ICE agents detained a Columbia University student in a dorm building early Thursday morning, allegedly making misrepresentations to gain entry to the building, according to acting Columbia President Claire Shipman. Shipman wrote in a Feb. 26 message to the school's community that the university is working to gather more information, working to reach the family, and providing legal support.

The person lived in the building, and unfortunately, they left behind a wife and two kids. One, I think, being two or three, and the other one being three months old, said Neil Constantine, who came to document the interaction. She was bawling.

Local and federal officials now say U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has in fact purchased a property in Roxbury, New Jersey to use for detention - after days of confusing and outright contradictory statements by the Department of Homeland Security. Roxbury Township's all-Republican governing body said in a statement Friday it "will not passively accept this outcome" and would pursue legal remedies, citing issues including environmental constraints and infrastructure limitations.

A PDF that Department of Homeland Security officials provided to New Hampshire governor Kelly Ayotte's office about a new effort to build "mega" detention and processing centers across the United States contains embedded comments and metadata identifying the people who worked on it. The seemingly accidental exposure of the identities of DHS personnel who crafted Immigration and Customs Enforcement's mega detention center plan lands amid widespread public pushback against the expansion of ICE detention centers and the department's brutal immigration enforcement tactics.

It said that ICE sites "undergo community impact studies and a rigorous due diligence process to make sure there is no hardship on local utilities or infrastructure prior to purchase," and that the Roxbury facility would bring 1,300 jobs to the area, contribute $161.2 million to the GDP and bring in more than $39.2 million in tax revenue.

At Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities across the country, detainees go without medicine for serious health conditions, endure miscarriages while shackled and are dying in record numbers, a group of U.S. senators said. In a sent Friday to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and ICE senior official Todd Lyons, 22 Democratic lawmakers alleged that a "dramatic" surge in deaths in federal immigration custody is a "clear byproduct" of the Trump administration's mass deportation agenda and rapid expansion of detention.

It started off as a normal Tuesday. On 25 March 2025 I reviewed applications from university students applying for a summer research position at my lab. I told friends I would bring pastries from Harvard Square for the Friday dinner we were planning. I finalized my schedule for an upcoming child development conference. I worked on my dissertation proposal. The day was busy but not unusual until I left home after quickly dressing for an iftar dinner at the interfaith center.

After France issued the couple humanitarian visas to avoid them being deported to Russia, Alexei Ishimov, 31, arrived in Paris from Seattle on Monday morning, AFP correspondents saw. His 29-year-old wife Nadezhda, a former volunteer for the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was expected to arrive on a separate flight from Miami, also on Monday morning. But she did not show up at the Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport as planned.

I just want him home where he belongs. I want us to be able to finish what we started, Tiffany Smyth, wife of Seamus Culleton, said during a Wednesday press conference. Seamus is a good man. He doesn't deserve what is going on, and it's heartbreaking. It's absolutely heartbreaking. I don't know how I've gone on these last five months to be honest, it's just been awful, and I don't wish this upon anybody.
