And the company running the center told Flagg it complies with all policies, procedures, and detention standards.

A former Biden-era ICE official told Flagg that he believed the federal government is holding families for longer to increase the chance of deporting them straight from detention.

The thought behind reaching that limit is that it's challenging to mount responses to deportation cases with limited resources in custody, and that the living conditions could incentivize someone to want to leave.

The Marshall Project reports that in court filings this month, ICE acknowledged that extended custody of children was a challenge, but said that transportation delays, medical needs, and legal processing had slowed releases.

ICE did not respond to the publication when asked about the data.

As we approach the end of the year, it's still unclear exactly how President Trump's tariffs are going to play out, as the Supreme Court considers their legality.

As of now, the administration says it's collected around $200 billion in tariff revenue.

And there's one new fee that you might have noticed as you scrambled to get last-minute shopping done.

Kayla Steinberg is with NBC News' business and economy team.

She reports that those who've ordered products from abroad might be hit with a surprise tariff bill.

That's after the administration removed an exemption that's known as de minimis, meaning something that's too small to be considered.

It excluded packages worth less than $800 from being hit with import taxes.

The administration says that loophole facilitated drug smuggling and led to below-market products that harm American businesses.

Steinberg told us that getting rid of the loophole so abruptly has put a big burden on shipping companies.

As a result, those tariff costs trickled down to the consumer.

Steinberg told us about Bonnie Hardy Campagno, who'd ordered a package from Belgium that she assumed would come with a nominal tariff fee of just 15%.

Hardy Campagna was surprised to learn that the skincare package she ordered triggered a 200% tariff because it contained aluminum from Russia or an unknown country, in addition to a 50% steel tariff.

She refused the package from UPS and tried to get more clarity, and has since received an additional $65 late fee from UPS.

Many retailers have raised prices as a result of higher import costs, and some international companies have stopped shipping to the U.S.
