/

In June, Isabelle Brourman took a sketch board and her press pass to immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza in New York City.

/

When it happens, it’s so much quieter, so much quicker than you expect. Each weekday immigrants make their way through the halls of 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan, uneasy and confused, searching for the right courtroom for their asylum hearing. Most carry a handful of documents and dress in their sharpest outfits. They turn a […]

I Live Where DC Crime Actually Happens. Here’s What Trump Is Missing.

/

On August 3, someone was shot about five blocks from my house in Washington, DC. Just two nights before, we had called 911 because of gunfire nearby—not an unusual occurrence.

Dr. Phil Opens Up About His Role In Trump’s Police State

/

Dr. Phil McGraw, the daytime television psychologist-turned-Trump surrogate, really wants you to believe a ludicrous claim: He is just not that into politics. “I don’t think I’m qualified to talk about politics,” he told the New York Times, in a new profile published on Sunday. This is absurd. As my colleagues Inae Oh and Isabela […]

He Fled Boko Haram and Helped Build an Award-Winning Restaurant. Now He’s Facing Deportation.

/

It was Father’s Day, and Suya Joint, a celebrated West African restaurant in Boston, was slammed. Normally, Cecelia Lizotte, the restaurant’s owner and chef, would call her brother, Paul Dama, if she were in a pinch. Lizotte and Dama balanced each other out: Lizotte was the chatty boss who wore chunky jewelry and bright colors, […]

Alligator Alcatraz Swag Is the Hot New MAGA Merch

/

Even before the immigration detention camp deep within the Everglades officially opened, the name of the facility, Alligator Alcatraz, had become a punchline for jokes within MAGA circles. “People get out, there’s not much waiting for them other than alligators and pythons,” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, who was the first to announce plans for […]
