NEW: In the past week I have spoken to people on the frontline of family separation — U.S. officials, federal public defenders, childcare providers receiving an influx of kids.

Their message: there is no functioning system in place for reunification. theintercept.com/2018/06/19/chi…

This week AZ Gov. Doug Ducey began dropping thousands of multi-ton shipping containers in Coronado National Forest to construct an ad hoc border wall in defiance of federal authorities.

I visited the site w/ @PeccaryNotPig and wrote about the effort here: theintercept.com/2022/10/29/ari…
It’s easy to write this off as purely a midterms political stunt. The timing and politics are obvious, but it’s worth digging a bit into exactly what’s happening here (apologies in advance, this is going to be a long thread).

theintercept.com/2022/10/29/ari…
First the cost. Ducey started using containers as border barriers on federal land in defiance of federal law in August — in Yuma, AZ — after declaring a state of emergency based on the claim that Arizona is being invaded and the feds have abdicated their security responsibility.

A West Texas jail warden and his twin brother are under arrest for allegedly driving up to a group of migrants at a water tank then fatally shooting one of the migrants in the head and wounding another nytimes.com/2022/09/29/us/…
NEW: Texas jail warden charged with killing migrant was previously accused of serious abuses

The warden who was arrested yesterday and the jail he ran have a long dark history — read more here interc.pt/3dRdI8k
In 2018, @RAICESTEXAS and a coalition of legal advocates published an extensive report on abuses inside the West Texas Detention Center in Sierra Blanca, Texas, a for-profit ICE jail overseen by warden Michael Sheppard.

We covered the report here. theintercept.com/2018/03/24/wee…

Last winter, I began looking into a historic wolf hunt on the northern border of Yellowstone National Park.

Nearly eight months later, here’s the end result. The wildest story I’ve ever reported. theintercept.com/2022/07/20/wol…
The news: the last Yellowstone wolf to die in the deadliest hunt the park has seen in a century was killed by one of the park’s veteran backcountry rangers, setting off two ongoing investigations into allegations that law enforcement colluded with hunters to kill wolves.
The ranger, who has since retired, says the allegations are part of a baseless witch hunt, that he wasn’t the only park employee to kill a wolf on Yellowstone’s border, and that he was singled out because the wolf he killed was part of the park’s acclaimed wolf research program.

NEW: The scale and speed of the Biden's current effort to expel Haitian asylum seekers en masse is without comparison in recent history.

The utter absence of infrastructure and resources to support those being removed cannot be overstated. theintercept.com/2021/09/21/bid…
Haitian officials say they simply cannot manage the influx — the most removals the country has received from the US in past seven years was 1,000 individuals.

Right now, the Border Patrol is "working around the clock" to expel more than 12,000 people in a week.
To expedite the process, DHS is not testing the people being expelled for Covid-19 — this despite the fact that a basis for the mass expulsions is a public health order.

As of last week, less than one percent of Haiti's 11.5 million residents were vaccinated.

Thinking today about Nabeela ur Rehman and her brother Zubair. We met in 2013. Nabeela was 9. Zubair was 13. Along with their father Rafiq, they were the first victims of a US drone strike to meet with members of Congress. I was the first reporter they spoke to in the states.
Nabeela’s grandmother, Momina Bibi, was killed in a drone strike in Pakistan in 2012. The family’s unprecedented visit was the result of an extraordinary effort to bring American lawmakers face-to-face with the consequences of unaccountable US policy.
I had written a lot about the war on terror and drone strikes in particular but this was my first time meeting a family directly impacted by those operations.

The experience stuck with me. I wrote about it here. theguardian.com/world/2013/oct…

This week, Daniel Hale, a former intelligence analyst facing more than a decade in prison for leaking documents on the US drone program, filed an 11-page letter laying out the reasons for his actions.

It is breathtaking document, worth reading in full. theintercept.com/2021/07/24/dan…
Hale pleaded guilty in March. The government, seeking the max sentence in the case, has strongly implied that he was the source of a series stories for The Intercept — The Intercept, as a matter of policy, does not comment on matters relating to the identity of anonymous sources.
What we can do is focus on Hale's own words and the story that they tell. Some key sections of his remarkable letter to follow.
