[From 2025]
It is well past time for journalists to stop granting any credibility to statements from the Department of Homeland Security.
Time after time, official statements from DHS — including ICE and the Border Patrol — have turned out to be malicious fabrications, often intended to blame the victims for their own brutality.
On Thursday, a federal judge in Chicago did us all an enormous favor by documenting lie upon lie told by DHS agents and officials in her courtroom.

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has engaged in a deadly immigration crackdown that has trampled the constitutional rights of migrants and US citizens.
During the operation, there have been 28 incidents where immigration agents shot at people,
resulting in eight deaths,

On July 13, an ICE officer fatally shot Joan Sebastian Duršn Guerrero,

A team of companies and universities from the UK, Spain, Estonia and Sweden is exploring
whether old satellites could be taken apart and reused directly in space.
Their work, known as DEXTER, was launched in 2025 and is led by Leonard Felicetti,
a space engineering associate professor at Cranfield University in the UK.
“We are cluttering space with new objects,” said Felicetti.
“What we want to do is to try and reuse the material that is already there"

Rethinking space junk in an age of satellite overload
For decades, we have been littering space with decommissioned satellites and rocket parts orbiting our planet. Now this space debris poses a growing threat to the satellites and spacecraft we rely on. But researchers believe some of this debris could be turned into a valuable resource.
