Detention Watch Network is reporting the death of 29-year-old Priciliano Trejo, who had leukemia when he was detained by ICE in NC. ICE initially failed to provide Priciliano with access to medical care. They only released him from custody when he was on his death bed at hospital.

Supermarket sushi is now a multibillion-dollar industry, but according to a new lawsuit, the market is fueled by an unjust franchise system that skirts labor laws to exploit the industry's Burmese workforce. To learn more, read Victor Maung's latest for @prismreports.org:

Text messages and videos obtained by the ACLU show that federal immigration agents who carried out last year’s raids in L.A. referred to Latinos with slurs such as “wet” (wetback) and “tonks,” reportedly derived from the sound a flashlight makes when hitting a migrant’s head.

If you've worked with me in recent weeks as a freelancer, I've probably shared this news with you, though it's time to share it more broadly: @prismreports.org is in serious trouble, y'all. We have lost half a million dollars in philanthropic support & we have almost no secure funding for next year.

Less than a week after ICE agents shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, the Portland Press Herald is reporting that ICE agents shot and killed a 26-year-old man from Colombia today:

I have a theory that when an immigration agency kills someone or engages in other forms of public state violence, DHS goes on a very transparent media blitz, ramping up its claims against so-called sanctuary cities and circulating more of its "worst of the worst" allegations against immigrants.

ICE agents shot and killed another person: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He was an immigrant, and I hope his immigration status doesn’t stop the public from caring. I hope we don’t grow accustomed to these killings. I hope his family has the support they need to survive his death. I hope. I hope. I hope.

A man I reported on 2.5 years ago, who I reached out to for an interview/comment EIGHT TIMES, recently contacted my editor (not me) to express his anger that the article about him continues to circulate.

I assume this will turn into a bigger story: Today, DHS announced that ICE Homeland Security Investigations arrested 15 "anti-ICE rioters in Minnesota, Including some affiliated with Antifa."

If you’re watching the World Cup today, maybe also consider reading this piece by August Chun for @prismreports.org that details why organizers in host cities want to “abolish FIFA.” (Hint: Mega sports events go hand-in-hand with militarized policing and displacement.)

North Carolina friends: Please consider attending this important event this weekend in Raleigh. As we head into summer, farmworkers and other outdoor workers are at incredible risk as temperatures soar. Due to poor labor protections, migrant farmworkers die each summer working in American fields.

ICE will no longer publicly report the deaths of immigrants recently released from detention. ICE frames this as "common sense," when in fact, it's an effort to obscure the true number of people who die as a result of being detained—especially now as in-custody deaths surge.

This is the kind of hard hitting journalism you get when you gut newsrooms.
