If you've ready my book, this is the facility Juan was held in while he was separated by Trump for nearly five months from his son, having been coerced into waiving his right to reunite with him. Now, like in many other ICE prisons, they're facing a COVID outbreak.

In July we reported on similar conditions inside the Eloy detention center in Arizona. At the time, one current employee told us "most of our staff is in a war zone. We are exposed on a daily basis." nbcnews.com/politics/immig…

Before that, in June, we reported that detainees said conditions inside the La Palma detention center were "a life or death situation" due to COVID. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…

Most recently, Dawn Wooten alleged the Irwin County Detention in Georgia is not "reporting all these [COVID] cases that are positive." When we talked she said "I apologize [to detainees]... for what goes on concerning them in the facility." msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/nu…

Very sorry to hear the @latimes shut its Olympic Printing Plant after 30 years. I toured it in 2007, when I was vlog-reporting for @laobserved. It was amazing and everyone was so welcoming and kind, as you can see.

South Carolina’s remarkable economic growth is changing the electorate. We went inside BMW’s massive plant (where I took a mallet to a $200K car), and to West Greenville, where the Black population has declined as prices force residents out, to learn more.

“Within the next five years, I believe this neighborhood won’t be recognizable by those who once knew it.”

Six years ago, Trump officials held a Valentine's Day meeting in which deliberately separating migrant kids from parents was proposed. Thousands ultimately were.

Two years after creating a task force to reunite them, Biden's DHS says over 600 have been, but 998 remain separated.

@MichelleBrane

Biden admin's task force, led by @MichelleBrane, says the "number of new families identified continues to increase, as families come forward and identify themselves as separated under the previous administration’s zero-tolerance policy." dhs.gov/news/2023/02/0…

@ElviaMalagon

Meanwhile, as it reunites families separated by a Trump policy Biden himself called "criminal," his admin is fighting them in court as they seek financial restitution for trauma they endured. Here's just one example, reported by @ElviaMalagon. chicago.suntimes.com/2023/2/1/23579…

@Stanford

This was a truly remarkable story to report and thing to witness. Researchers at @Stanford think they may have discovered a remarkable breakthrough when it comes to treating Parkinson’s patients — and it’s as simple as putting on a pair of gloves.

@peter_tass

Here’s where people interested in being a part of the study by @peter_tass can find more information: med.stanford.edu/tass-lab

@AudreyKolina

You can also e-mail Dr. Tass and his team at parkinsonsvcr@stanford.edu to reach out and connect.

Thanks so much for the feedback to this story and to @AudreyKolina and @XavierNBC for producing it.

Here’s a preview:
