Use this long weekend to rest, relax, and save. There are some great #MemorialDaySales on the gear WIRED reviewers recommend. If you buy something using the link below, we may earn a commission. This helps support our journalism. wired.trib.al/vAGtei1 1/6
The GoPro Hero 10 Black is our favorite action camera. Paying $400 for it alone is a good deal that saves you about $50, but this bundle adds even more value: It includes a spare battery and a charger. 📸: GoPro wired.trib.al/BpONPuJ 2/6 Image
This video game is a holdover from last week that's worth mentioning again. Folks feel very strongly about Elden Ring (PS4/5) for $50 ($10 off). You either love it or hate it This is the first discount we've tracked for the popular title. wired.trib.al/KwwxJWA 📸: Amazon 3/6 Image
One of the best PlayStation 5 features has nothing to do with the console itself. We really like the Sony PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller for $59 ($16 off). WIRED reviewers say there's no third-party alternative that packs the same punch. 📸: Sony 4/6 wired.trib.al/mLK2IYB Image
This giant, squishy Moon Pod Beanbag for $299 ($100 off) is sort of ridiculous…as is its price tag. It's also more comfortable than my sofa. The softcover and dense filling make you feel like you're floating on the moon. 📸: Moon Pod 5/6 wired.trib.al/ANmkCvi Image
Don't forget to check back, as we'll be updating this story throughout the weekend. #MemorialDaySales wired.trib.al/vAGtei1 6/6
This LG C1 OLED 55-Inch 4K TV for $1,097 ($201 off)
made our list of the best TVs as a top pick for gamers, not just because of the wonderfully rich blacks that OLED panels provide, but also due to its 120-Hz refresh rate support. 📸: LG wired.trib.al/iaGJAYK Image
It's been a while since the Biolite FirePit+ for $225 ($75 off) has been priced at this low price. We liked the original version; this newer model can be used as a heating source, a phone charger, and a snazzy portable grill. 📸: Biolite wired.trib.al/bpLQz0X Image
Thermapen One Meat Thermometer for $84 ($21 off) is one of the best grilling accessories. It'll spit out accurate temperatures in less than a second. Enter code SHAREBBQ to see the discount at checkout. 📸: Thermoworks wired.trib.al/Qhjrdum Image
Our WIRED reviews editor is a huge fan of the Rumpl Blanket for $74 ($25 off). The outdoor-friendly blankets are durable, warm, packable, and available in several eye-catching designs. 📸:Rumpl wired.trib.al/kOPsYQk Image
We are updating our #MemorialDaySales story throughout the weekend. Check here for even more deals. wired.trib.al/vAGtei1
The discount on this Allform 3-Seat Sofa for $1,895 ($474 off) isn't quite as good as what we saw on Cyber Monday last year, but it's the best deal we have tracked since then. Allform makes some of the best couches you can buy in a box. 📸:Allform wired.trib.al/HJsweXP Image
We heartily recommend these Jins Prescription Sunglasses for 30% off, particularly for folks who need a prescription. They look way cooler than your typical Rx frames, and they're also durable, even after years of wear. Use Code 22MEMORIAL30 📸: Jins wired.trib.al/xjo0s4E Image
Check out our updated #MemorialDaySales story throughout the weekend for the latest and best deals going. It's a great way to save money and support our journalism by shopping through the links provided. wired.trib.al/3xxmMvn

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.
