A large tent city detention camp, known as Camp East Montana, was opened in 2025 near El Paso by ICE to house those swept up in mass deportation raids. Reports from the camp quickly emerged detailing abuse, including physical assaults and threats, with many detainees claiming guards were attempting to force them to return to their home countries. Three deaths occurred in a short period, one of which was ruled a homicide due to compression, with the others attributed to suicide and alcohol-related illness. These deaths, and a rising number of others, have raised concerns about medical neglect and substandard conditions within the expanding network of detention facilities, as the government plans to house even more detainees.

The initial revelation of an Iranian official confirming at least 5,000 deaths resulting from protests sends a chill down the spine. This official acknowledgement, however, raises a lot of questions. The figure itself is horrifying, representing a substantial loss of life, but it also prompts us to consider the potential for underreporting. If the government is admitting to this number, many wonder if the actual toll is significantly higher, perhaps even double or triple that figure.
The official’s statement places blame on “terrorists and armed rioters” for killing “innocent Iranians,” along with a mention of approximately 500 security personnel deaths. This narrative is important to analyze, because it clearly attempts to frame the events as a clash between state forces and violent insurgents, rather than acknowledging the broader context of popular protest.… Continue reading
Following the government’s internet shutdown, reports emerged detailing the killings of several individuals during protests in the marginalized Lur ethnic minority region. Hessam Khodayarifard, Shayan Asadollahi, Reza Moradi, and Sajjad Valamanesh were all killed by security forces during crackdowns in Kuhdasht, Azna, and Lordegan. Authorities reportedly refused to release the bodies of the deceased and pressured families into making statements supporting the regime. Despite the government’s efforts to control the narrative, details of the violence spread through hushed communications before the internet was completely cut off, which ultimately silenced independent reporting.

Four migrants die in US immigration custody over the first 10 days of 2026. This isn’t just a headline; it’s a stark reality, a chilling statistic that demands our immediate attention and a thorough examination of the circumstances. The fact that four individuals lost their lives within the first ten days of the year, while under the care of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), should be a wake-up call for everyone. This isn’t a distant tragedy; it’s happening right now, within our own borders.
Considering the circumstances surrounding these deaths, it’s difficult not to be deeply concerned. The fact that members of Congress are sometimes denied access to ICE facilities raises red flags.… Continue reading
Deaths from Iran protests are a tragic reality, a situation that has grown increasingly dire. Reports from various sources, including rights groups, indicate that the death toll has surged past 500, a chilling number that underscores the severity of the ongoing unrest and the brutal response from the Iranian regime. It is important to remember that these are not just statistics; each number represents a life lost, a family devastated, and a community traumatized.
The visual evidence is disturbing, and should be viewed with caution. Videos circulating online, purportedly from hospitals and morgues, depict the grim reality of the crackdown. One video, originating from a forensic medicine center in Kahrizak, near Tehran, reveals rows of bodies, a stark testament to the violence.… Continue reading
Venezuela’s interior minister Diosdado Cabello said late on Wednesday that 100 people died in the U.S. attack, a grim assessment following the removal of President Nicolas Maduro from power. The news is shocking, especially considering the initial reports minimized the loss of life, painting a picture of a precise operation with minimal casualties. It’s unsettling to think that the death toll has now been revealed, potentially including a mix of Venezuelan soldiers, Cuban military and intelligence personnel, and possibly civilians. The army has released a list of 23 names of its dead, but that still leaves a considerable number unaccounted for, prompting questions about the identities of the other victims.… Continue reading

The couple received no further support from Qatar Airways following the incident, and are now attempting to enjoy their remaining vacation in Venice.

Missile attacks on civilian aircraft have tragically become the leading cause of airline passenger deaths in the last decade, with over 500 fatalities recorded. The recent downing of an Azerbaijan Airlines flight, allegedly by a Russian missile, marks the third major incident since 2014, following similar attacks in Ukraine and Iran. These incidents significantly outweigh other causes of airline fatalities, including even the deadliest non-missile related crashes. The total death toll from these missile attacks far surpasses that of other major airline accidents in the past ten years. Investigations are ongoing into the most recent incident, with the Kremlin urging caution against premature conclusions.
