A recent report reveals that over 1,000 detainees at Florida’s Alligator Alcatraz, a state-run immigrant internment camp, are unaccounted for, raising concerns about their whereabouts. The Miami Herald found two-thirds of detainees from July rosters were untraceable, with many not listed on the ICE Online Detainee Locator System and others having no location information. Immigrant rights groups are accusing the state of “administratively disappearing” detainees, as families and attorneys struggle to locate them, and some are even being deported before scheduled hearings. This has led to accusations that the camp is operating as an “extrajudicial black site,” exacerbating already troubling conditions within the facility.

Reports from Ukrainian experts indicate that Russian authorities in Donetsk have placed 48 children in psychiatric hospitals on charges of “extremism,” part of a larger pattern of targeting minors under the guise of combating dissent. According to data from the “DNR,” a total of 161 minors have faced criminal charges, with numerous cases of teenagers persecuted for expressing anti-war sentiments or using Ukrainian symbols. These actions, which include fines and forced apologies, are part of a broader strategy affecting the approximately 1.5 million children living in Russian-occupied territories who are reportedly under immense pressure. The reported actions are also being carried out alongside the utilization of youth sports in occupied Zaporizhzhia to spread propaganda.

ICE officer “relieved of current duties” after a violent confrontation caught on camera – this situation, it’s a minefield of implications, isn’t it? “Relieved of current duties” – what does that even mean in practice? Well, it certainly doesn’t sound like a firing. It’s more like a temporary reassignment, a bureaucratic shuffle to calm things down. This is not the outcome for someone who, by all accounts, committed assault. It’s a tactic to protect the image of the agency, not to address the actual behavior. The real takeaway? He is not fired and could easily be given another role within the same organization.… Continue reading
Recent government data reveals that immigrants with no criminal record now constitute the largest group in U.S. immigration detention, surpassing those with criminal histories or pending charges. This shift marks the first time under the Trump administration that the number of non-criminal immigrants in detention has exceeded those with criminal backgrounds. Furthermore, the surge in arrests has led to an increase in collateral arrests, contributing to the detention of individuals with no prior record and even some who are legally in the US. Despite DHS’s claims of targeting “the worst of the worst,” the data contradicts this narrative, raising concerns about inhumane treatment in detention facilities and a complete vilification of immigrants.

North Korean authorities are intensifying crackdowns on young people, specifically targeting expressions of love deemed indicative of “decadent lifestyles.” An incident involving a love letter discovered during a factory inspection led to a public struggle session where the writer was condemned for using romantic phrases like “I love you.” Officials view this as a violation of laws against foreign influence, as they routinely inspect electronic devices for consumption of foreign media. This event highlights the regime’s efforts to control personal expression and suppress any perceived challenge to its ideology, sparking public criticism and disbelief.

Rumors circulated online in September 2025, alleging that two-thirds of detainees were missing from the Florida migrant detention center “Alligator Alcatraz.” These rumors stemmed from Miami Herald investigations using detainee rosters, which found the whereabouts of many detainees were unknown as of the end of August. While the Herald did not independently verify the missing persons, they did use the lists to determine that 800 detainees showed no record in the online database for ICE, and over 450 had no location listed. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security denied the claims. However, there were documented instances of detainees being deported or moved without their families’ or attorneys’ knowledge, suggesting that some detainees may have been missing, even if not reflected in official databases.

The OHCHR documented 508 cases of civilian detainees between June 1, 2023, and September 10, 2025, revealing a pattern of brutal physical and psychological torture, sexual violence, and inhumane conditions.

This systemic abuse, a violation of international humanitarian law, is part of a broader Russian policy aimed at suppressing Ukrainian resistance in occupied territories.
