The Texas Senate on Tuesday approved Senate Bill 8, which would require sheriffs in the state's largest counties -- including Harris County -- to collaborate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

"That this is a lie is a matter of public record. DHS and ICE are not sitting on secret records showing Abrego Garcia is a convict. If they were, they would release them. Instead, the public record is what his lawyers wrote in a filing this week, an assertion the government did not dispute in its response: 'Abrego Garcia has never been arrested or charged with any crime in the U.S. or El Salvador.'"

As Judd Legum notes, having admitted that it made an "administrative" mistake in deporting Abrego Garcia, the Trump administration is now doubling down and claiming there's evidence he's a gang member — when no such evidence exists:
"This is a lie. Abrego Garcia was never 'convicted' of being an MS-13 gang member.

"Juarez is a beloved member of the Indigenous Mixteco farmworker community, and there’s been an outpouring of support for him across Washington State and the entire country."
Edgar Franks says, "We believe his detention is politically motivated because of his organizing in the farmworker and immigrant community. We believe he was targeted. The way that ICE detained him was meant to intimidate."
Continued thread
"Twenty-five-year-old Juarez helped found Familias Unidas Por La Justicia, an independent farmworker union in Washington State, in 2013, when he was just a young teenager. He has advocated around issues like overtime pay, heat protections for farmworkers and the exploitative nature of the H-2A guest worker program."
"On the morning of March 25, farmworker organizer Alfredo 'Lelo' Juarez was forcibly detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who stopped his car while he was driving his wife to work in Skagit County, Washington. People to whom Juarez has spoken say he requested to see a warrant, and when he attempted to get his ID after being asked, the ICE agents smashed his car window and detained him."

ID State Rep Mickelsen was reported to #ICE for speaking out against Trump's #immigration policies.
She's accused her own party of weaponizing fed IMG authorities agst her after she publicly criticized Trump’s immigration policies. The incident -unfolded in late Jan 2025, has sparked outrage among some residents & raised concerns about pol intimidation in ID.
Incident: drawn comparisons to authoritarian tactics -some X users calling it “Gestapo tactics.

Glacier melt intensifying Freshwater loss and accelerating Sea-level rise.
According to new findings, through an international effort involving 35 research teams, glaciers have been losing an average of 273 billion tonnes of ice per year since the year 2000.
[
But hidden within this average there has been an alarming increase over the last 10 years.]
![Ice melting from glaciers around the world is depleting regional freshwater resources and driving global sea levels to rise at ever-faster rates.
In the year 2000, glaciers [excluding the continental ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica] spanned 705,221 sq km, and held an estimated 121,728 billion tonnes of ice. Over the past two decades, they have lost approximately 5% of their total volume, with regional losses ranging from 2% on the Antarctic and Subantarctic Islands, to 39% in Central Europe.
This corresponds to an annual loss of 273 billion tonnes of ice. However, the amount of ice being lost jumped by 36% in the second half of the study period (2012–2023) compared to the first half of the study (2000–2011).](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/268/451/694/196/802/original/7701b2385182934f.jpeg "Ice melting from glaciers around the world is depleting regional freshwater resources and driving global sea levels to rise at ever-faster rates.

Glacier mass loss over the whole study period was 18% higher than that from the Greenland Ice Sheet and more than double that from the Antarctic Ice Sheet.

Glambie (Glacier Mass Balance Intercomparison Exercise) is a major research initiative coordinated by the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) hosted at the University of Zurich, in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh and Earthwave Ltd to generate a community estimate of glacier mass loss globally.
The team coordinated the compilation, standardisation and analysis of different data from field measurements and from a wealth of different types of optical, radar, laser and gravimetry satellite missions.
Satellite observations included those from the US Terra/ASTER and ICESat-2, the US–German GRACE, the German TanDEM-X and ESA’s CryoSat missions, among others.

Overall, researchers found that the world's glaciers have lost around five percent of their volume since the turn of the century, with wide regional differences ranging from a two-percent loss in Antarctica to up to 40 percent in the European Alps.
Glaciers are the second-largest contributor to global sea-level rise – after the rise caused by the expansion of seawater as it warms. The nearly two centimetres of sea level rise attributed to glacier melt since 2000 means almost four million more people on the world's coasts are vulnerable to flooding, scientists have estimated.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/268/453/718/274/433/original/c14a4baccd335e04.png "[ImageSource: Copernicus Sentinel data 2017]
