Alerts about operations are disseminated through direct messages, WhatsApp, or posts on each page’s feed. In turn, it is possible to anonymously report the presence of immigration agents through private text messages or calls to specific phone numbers.In general, users are asked for basic data such as time, date, city, state, and exact location of the operation, as well as photographs or videos when it is possible to document them. In addition to issuing real-time alerts, many of these pages offer free legal guidance, not only on migration issues, but also on labor rights, access to health, education, and other…
The US Environmental Protection Agency moved to roll back emissions standards for power plants, the second-largest source of CO2 emissions in the country, on Wednesday, claiming that the American power sector does not “contribute significantly” to air pollution.“The bottom line is that the EPA is trying to get out of the climate change business,” says Ryan Maher, a staff attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity.The announcement comes just days after the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) quietly released record-breaking new figures showing the highest seasonal concentration of CO2 in recorded history.In a press conference on Tuesday, flanked by…
Los Angeles is a city of immigrants. It is also a city of unions. And in California, those two constituencies have essentially melded into one.So it should come as no surprise that federal immigration raids on workplaces around Los Angeles County this week set off the largest protests to date against President Trump’s immigration crackdown.On the first day of the protests, David Huerta, the president of the California chapter of the Service Employees International Union and the grandson of Mexican farmworkers, was arrested and hospitalized for a head injury after being pushed by a federal agent. Officials said he was…
Waymo declined to answer questions from WIRED about how many cameras are inside its vehicles, exactly how long footage is retained, and whether the company has ever turned over footage to US federal law enforcement or a branch of the military. Karp did note, however, that the company’s engineering team sometimes uses information from sensors, including video footage and other data, to run simulations aimed at improving its technology. She says Waymo also puts limits on both who can access data and how long it’s retained.Waymo’s robotaxi service is currently available in the Phoenix metro area and parts of San…
The American ambassador to Israel has said that it should be up to “Muslim countries” to build a Palestinian state on their territory instead of in the areas that much of the world recognizes as Palestinian lands.If the statements by Ambassador Mike Huckabee are confirmed as representing the U.S. administration’s position, it would be a sharp shift away from decades of American foreign policy on the Israel-Palestinian conflict. A State Department spokeswoman downplayed his remarks.“Muslim countries have 644 times the amount of land that are controlled by Israel,” Mr. Huckabee said in an videotaped interview with the BBC. “So maybe,…
What to Look for in Organic SheetsOrganic means many things. It’s often used to confirm that food was grown without toxic pesticides and chemicals, and doesn’t have things like growth hormones or GMOs, in order to label it as organic food. For bedding, it should mean both that organic materials were used to make the fabric—no toxic pesticides used in farming, etc.—and that they were produced organically with nontoxic chemicals.You’ll want at least two certifications to prove this. Most sheets have a Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification to certify that the material sourced is organic (it’ll say organically grown…
A federal appeals court on Tuesday said the Trump administration did not have to comply for now with a judge’s order to give due process to scores of Venezuelan immigrants who were deported to El Salvador under a wartime law.The ruling, by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, came one day before the administration was supposed to outline for a lower-court judge how to allow nearly 140 deported Venezuelans to challenge their expulsion. The men, accused of being members of a violent street gang called Tren de Aragua, are being held in a maximum-security Salvadoran…
