The Lurera Anti-Anxiety Pillow isn't a cure for anxiety, but it offers soft support. It feels almost as nice as a real, warm hug when you really need one. wired.trib.al/6OZ2NJM 📸: Lurera 2/7 Image
Sometimes dreams seem random and pointless, but the Dreams Box breaks it all down. It comes with a deck of dream cards and a guidebook to interpreting, and even possibly controlling, your dreams. wired.trib.al/lMbBmhW 📸: Amazon 3/7 Image
If you know someone with outdoor access, a hammock with a sturdy stand is a great gift for relaxing in the sun. This one from Best Choice Products is usually only $80, and it's incredibly comfy. wired.trib.al/YiuIBsf 📸: Walmart 4/7 Image
If your dog or cat needs a relaxing gift, try this bed. PetFusion’s are thoughtfully designed and tend to hold up to the wear and tear that animals put them through. The bed is made for kneading and burrowing, with a soft blanket-like cover. wired.trib.al/2DqP33W 📸: Amazon 5/7 Image
People either love or hate weighted blankets. If you love them, lying under one feels like you’re being held, and they make great gifts. Yaasa's blanket is chunky, gorgeous, and rigid—in a good way—so it stays put. wired.trib.al/rHxtca8 6/7

Meta’s former chief AI scientist has long argued that human-level AI will come from mastering the physical world, not language. His new startup, AMI, plans to prove it. wired.com/story/yann-lec…
“The idea that you’re going to extend the capabilities of LLMs [large language models] to the point that they’re going to have human-level intelligence is complete nonsense,” Yann LeCun said in an interview with WIRED. wired.com/story/yann-lec…
The financing, which values the startup at $3.5 billion, was co-led by investors such as Cathay Innovation, Greycroft, Hiro Capital, HV Capital, and Bezos Expeditions. wired.com/story/yann-lec…

Last week, we reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have carried out a secret campaign to expand ICE’s physical presence across the US. wired.com/story/ice-expa…
Documents show that more than 150 leases and office expansions have or would place new facilities in nearly every state.

This gives us a clear picture of where ICE is going next in the US: Everywhere.

The pace of change is accelerating, and the implications are far-reaching. Keeping up isn’t easy, but it’s essential. wired.com/newsletter/ICE…

NEW: Workers at the Social Security Administration have been told to share information about in-person appointments with ICE agents, in a move that goes against decades of precedent and puts noncitizens at further risk of immigration enforcement actions.
wired.com/story/social-s…
“If ICE comes in and asks if someone has an upcoming appointment, we will let them know the date and time,” an employee with direct knowledge of the directive says.
wired.com/story/social-s…
SSA has been sharing data with ICE for much of president Donald Trump’s second term, but this order to share information marks a new era of collaboration between SSA and the DHS, ICE’s parent agency.

Two agents involved in the shooting deaths of US citizens in Minneapolis are reportedly part of highly militarized DHS units whose extreme tactics are generally reserved for war zones. wired.com/story/ice-cbp-…
The units include ICE’s two Special Response Teams (SRT), CBP’s one SRT, and the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC).
wired.com/story/ice-cbp-…
The tactics used by SRT and BORTAC vastly differ from those of local police or sheriffs. They use explosives to breach the doors of homes, and team members are equipped with full tactical gear, assault rifles, and heavy-duty crowd-control weapons.

Since last year, we’ve been reporting on ICE extensively. But every week brings new information, and it’s getting harder to keep track of what’s happening, let alone remember what’s already happened.

So here’s a quick thread to help.
Back in June (we know, it honestly feels like a lifetime ago), WIRED obtained hundreds of emergency calls from ICE detention centers. wired.com/story/ice-dete…
The data showed that at least 60 percent of the centers analyzed had reported serious pregnancy complications, suicide attempts, or sexual assault allegations. wired.com/story/ice-dete…

Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings and sexual assaults in several states, warns an FBI bulletin to law enforcement agencies issued last month.
wired.com/story/fbi-warn…
Citing five 2025 incidents involving fake immigration officers, the bulletin says criminals are using ICE’s heightened profile to target vulnerable communities, making it harder to distinguish between lawful officers and imposters.
wired.com/story/fbi-warn…
Federal rules require immigration officers to identify themselves and state the reason for an arrest “as soon as it is practical and safe to do so.” The standard has not changed since it was codified, yet advocates say it is increasingly ignored.
