41-year-old detainee at Newark migrant jail died in custody, ICE says

(December 19, 2025)

This marks the first death of a Delaney Hall detainee since it opened earlier this year. Immigrant advocates are demanding more information from authorities on exactly what happened and why it took a week for ICE to announce Brutus’ death.

Kathy O’Leary, an activist who holds vigils at the detention center, said she was there last week when an ambulance pulled onto the jail’s property, and she heard discussions of someone having a medical emergency over guards’ walkie-talkies. That ambulance was held up leaving the jail by a van dropping off new detainees, she added.

It wasn’t until ICE put out the statement Thursday evening that she learned about Brutus’ death.

Leak Severed a Link to Al-Qaeda‘s Secrets

(October 9, 2007)

The al-Qaeda video aired on Sept. 7 attracted international attention as the first new video message from the group‘s leader in three years. In it, a dark-bearded bin Laden urges Americans to convert to Islam and predicts failure for the Bush administration in Iraq and Afghanistan. The video was aired on hundreds of Western news Web sites nearly a full day before its release by a distribution company linked to al-Qaeda.

Computer logs and records reviewed by The Washington Post support SITE‘s claim that it snatched the video from al-Qaeda days beforehand. Katz requested that the precise date and details of the acquisition not be made public, saying such disclosures could reveal sensitive details about the company‘s methods.

Confused Trump, 79, Forgets What Country His Father Was Born in

(March 3, 2026)

The 79-year-old said his father was born in Germany as he fielded questions from reporters on his unauthorized war with Iran.

“My father was born,” Trump said while gesturing towards Merz. “He knows all about my father. My father was born there.”

“So, you know, there are places that you sort of automatically very, very feel warmly about,” Trump added.

In fact, the president’s father, Frederick Trump Jr., was born in the Bronx in New York City in 1905. It was his father’s parents — Trump’s grandparents — who were born in what was then the German Empire, specifically in the Kingdom of Bavaria.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

According to the lengthy Hegseth text, the first detonations in Yemen would be felt two hours hence, at 1:45 p.m. eastern time. So I waited in my car in a supermarket parking lot. If this Signal chat was real, I reasoned, Houthi targets would soon be bombed. At about 1:55, I checked X and searched Yemen. Explosions were then being heard across Sanaa, the capital city.

I went back to the Signal channel. At 1:48, “Michael Waltz” had provided the group an update. Again, I won’t quote from this text, except to note that he described the operation as an “amazing job.” A few minutes later, “John Ratcliffe” wrote, “A good start.” Not long after, Waltz responded with three emoji: a fist, an American flag, and fire.

Tausende Hinweise auf Kriegsverbrecher unter Asylwerbern ignoriert

(March 7, 2019)

Danach gab das Bundesamt fĂŒr Migration und FlĂŒchtlinge (BAMF) von 2014 bis Anfang 2019 rund 5000 Hinweise auf „Straftaten nach dem Völkerrecht“ an das Bundeskriminalamt und den Generalbundesanwalt weiter. Von anderen Stellen seien 200 Hinweise gekommen. Doch nur in 129 FĂ€llen seien Ermittlungen aufgenommen worden. In den Jahren 2015/16, also auf dem Höhepunkt des FlĂŒchtlingszuzugs, gab es dem Bericht zufolge 3800 Hinweise, es kam jedoch nur zu 28 Ermittlungen.

„Die große Zahl der Hinweise hat es nicht zugelassen, allen zum Beispiel durch polizeiliche Vernehmungen unmittelbar nachzugehen“, sagte ein Sprecher des Bundesinnenministeriums zu „Bild“.
