According to the Department of Homeland Security, there are more than 56,000 people in detention.
About 70% of them have not been convicted of any crimes.
Immigration observers say that is a radical shift in immigration enforcement.
People arrested without a criminal conviction is six times higher than what it was during Trump's first term.
A DHS spokesperson tells NPR the vast majority of the people arrested are criminals, but did not provide any evidence.
It's a big part in the community.
It's been around for nearly a hundred years.
I went there yesterday and parts of it were washed away.
And the area around it is completely destroyed.
Huge trees are down, boulders are in the middle of the road, homes completely decimated.
I mean, the only thing left is their foundation.
All of this a reminder of how violent the flash floods were on Friday morning.
Texas Governor Greg Abba.
has said the search and rescue operations continue twenty four seven, uh, but without a doubt, this is one of the worst floods in Texas history and one that will transform the community forever.
The Supreme Court says the Trump administration did not give the men at a detention center in northern Texas enough time to challenge their deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. The unsigned order says detainees are entitled to more notice than the roughly 24 hours the government gave the Venezuelan men at the center of this case.
Conservative Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented. This ruling did not address the question of whether Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act was legal. The high court did say that this order does not stop the government from removing people from the U.S. under other lawful authorities. Sergio Martinez-Peltran, NPR News, Austin.
Madawi was one of the leaders of the protests at Columbia University against the war in Gaza. He has been accused by the Trump administration of undermining its effort to combat anti-Semitism and was arrested earlier this month by immigration agents after finalizing his naturalization interview in Vermont. Federal Judge Jeffrey Crawford said Monday Madawi's two-week detention, quote,
so far demonstrates great harm to a person who has been charged with no crime. So he ordered his immediate release. Madawi said his release sends a message that, quote, we the people will hold the Constitution accountable for the principles and values that we believe in. And he told the Trump administration he's not afraid of them because fear is replaced by love.

The courthouse is supposed to be a safe place for people to come and be able to work with these systems that have been implemented.
