.@pressfreedom reports on @hamafree90's death; he was killed by Assad's rockets on April 25. cpj.org/killed/2014/mo…
SCOOP: Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi went into an interview today hoping he would come out a U.S. citizen. Instead, ICE arrested him. theintercept.com/2025/04/14/ice…
A Muslim father of five was kidnapped by ICE in Greensboro last week. Plainclothes agents stormed his home, never showed a badge, and threatened his family. They came back and detained him on his way to work. His name is Mohamed Aboubaker Naser. tinyurl.com/ywbb2cna
NEW: The dad of Saif Musallet, the American killed by Israeli settlers, says US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee called and said he told Netanyahu there must be justice for Saif. A day later, Huckabee went to Netanyahu's corruption trial to show support.zeteo.com/p/exclusive-fa…
NEW: Saif Musallet’s dad says US leaders still haven’t reached out—days after Israeli settlers killed his son. And it wasn’t just settlers. Soldiers blocked ambulances for hours. Saif is now the 7th American killed by Israeli violence in the last 21 months.zeteo.com/p/exclusive-fa…
I wrote here for @theintercept on the smears against @ZohranKMamdani, the demonization of Arabic language, and why he was right not to take the bait theintercept.com/2025/07/10/mam…
this confirms what academics and students told @sophiehurwitz in this piece: it seemed clear, to them, the government was using Canary Mission
Breaking news via @knightcolumbia: "A senior ICE official testified that the agency assembled a team in to investigate student protestors. The team rapidly compiled over 100 reports based on a list of 5,000 people identified on the Canary Mission website."
“The application was abysmal… it was sorely lacking real content,” a source familiar told me. Read our new exclusive reporting on how an internal government assessment shows officials raised “critical concerns” about GHF. ⬇️
CNN Exclusive: USAID raised "critical concerns" days before a $30 million grant was awarded to a controversial US and Israel-backed aid group, documents show. cnn.it/44mk2MK
ATTN IMMIGRATION ATTORNEYS/ADVOCATES: I'm working on a piece about ICE continuing to detain people AFTER they have won relief from an immigration judge. Pls reach out on Signal - tanvim.05 - if you have represented someone who has had that experience or been tracking this? TY.
ICYMI: I spent the last few months gathering, analyzing, and visualizing a whole bunch of data related to the booming satellite internet industry. scroll through this @restofworld visual story to better understand this gold rush restofworld.org/2025/satellite…
Satellite internet is big business, but what does the industry actually look like? In this fun, visual piece, @khadijaalam_ breaks down the data to help us understand it: restofworld.org/2025/satellite…
Excited to be in New Orleans for the Investigative Reporters and Editors conference. On Sunday, I'll be moderating a panel on the nitty gritties of international collaborations with some really smart minds: @MaryamSaleh, @reedfrich and Melissa Del Bosque. Join us if you're here!
Hey #IRE25, I’ll be moderating a conversation tomorrow with some of the best in the business investigating atrocities in Gaza — @YahyaGhazala, @KaviChek, and Hoda Osman. Join us!
Very excited that our @restofworld story about battery maker Gotion and American manufacturing turned into a Planet Money episode — a fascinating listen! Got to speak on the show, along with folks from Michigan and Illinois 🏭 npr.org/2025/06/06/125…
I took one for the team. thenation.com/article/politi…
My dad and mom left Syria 47 and 44 years ago, respectively, and never returned — until this month. I was blessed to accompany them on their first trip back, to discover the homeland I’ve long been deprived of through their eyes, their memories, their experiences. الحمد لله 🇸🇾
Breaking: ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan was placed on administrative leave following reports of sexual abuse and retaliation by @DropSiteNews and WSJ. Earlier this week, the President of ASP, which oversees the court, called on Khan to resign, but he declined. Read our story here⬇️
A story I should never have written, but sometimes, the heart needs to heal up by writing. ✍️My agonising journey leaving Gaza and arriving in Ireland after 560 days of the genocide @DropSiteNews dropsitenews.com/p/abubaker-abe…
Years later I can still feel the bouncy Skype ringtone of calling my grandpa in Russia right in my bones @restofworld put together a memorial of global users sharing their memories in audio/video This piece is a delight and beautiful palate cleanser! restofworld.org/2025/skype-shu…
So to recap: the State Dept revoked ~ 1200 student visas (per public accounting) which means the students would need to reapply if they left the country but could remain in status. Then ICE terminates the student records associated, tries to arrests them, but now admits this —>
NEW: ICE is filing declarations in multiple cases admitting they don't have power to terminate student status, so students whose student records (SEVIS) are terminated remain in valid status. This means colleges disenrolling students (a majority) are punishing them for no reason.
