ICE Tries To Raid Legal Offices, Demanding Files On Migrant Children

June 15, 2026 Katya Schwenk, The Lever. , , ,
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents attempted to raid the offices of attorneys for unaccompanied migrant children this week, lawyers tell The Lever, the latest escalation in the Trump administration’s attempt to collect sensitive data on children in the U.S. immigration system. As The Lever first reported last week, the legal services providers for unaccompanied migrant children — who represent the youth in deportation proceedings — have been locked in a standoff with the Trump administration over requests for sensitive case data on their clients. Now, ICE agents are arriving at their doors.

June 8, 2026 Hadas Thier, In These Times. , , , ,
Prediction markets are booming, and the mainstream media has been aflutter with breathless hype and valuations, boosting ​“one of the fastest growing [markets] in finance,” according to Fortune. ​“We’re at the beginning of a prediction markets supercycle that could drive trillions in annual volume over time,” Vlad Tenev, CEO of Robinhood, announced during the company’s quarterly earnings call in February, according to Forbes. Robinhood, an electronic trading platform catered to everyday users, got in on the prediction markets game in 2024. 

As Trump And Xi Met, Grassroots Diplomacy Unfolded On The Ground

May 21, 2026 Cameron Harrison, People's World. , , , ,
Traveling as a delegate of the Communist Party USA alongside 20 other young communists from 18 countries across Europe and North America, I spent two weeks abroad in a youth delegation organized by the International Department of the Communist Party of China (IDCPC). With an average age of just 27, and unlike the billionaires in Washington, our delegation didn’t come to trade diplomatic pleasantries and attempt to secure zero-sum corporate market access. We came to witness what they call “socialism with Chinese characteristics,” a living alternative to the decaying, financialized capitalism that currently grips the Western world.

Denver Nonprofit Moves Homeless Youth To Permanent Housing Faster

May 16, 2026 Robert Davis, Next City. , , ,
When 19-year-old C.J. Kesner moved into The Mothership six months ago, he had already cycled through multiple relatives’ homes across three states. Disagreements and broken trust had left him without a stable place to live. Now living at The Mothership, a youth homelessness shelter model that opened two years ago in Denver, Kesner has a bed to sleep in. He also sees a therapist, joins group activities with other residents, can access medical care, and has a case manager who placed him on a waitlist for housing serving people with autism.

‘Worthy Children Of Heroes, Martyrs:’ How Nicaragua Cultivates Peace

February 26, 2026 Becca Renk Foster, Popular Resistance. , , , , ,
“I thought they were going to kill us. The bullets were flying past our house, and I was so afraid a stray one would hit us,” Socorro tells me. She’s recounting a gang fight that took place more than a decade ago right outside the walls of mismatched metal sheeting that surround her garden near Managua. “My granddaughter was small at the time, I ran with her and hid behind a barrel, thinking it was full and that the water would help protect us. But the joke was on me, the barrel was empty!” Socorro cackles, today able to laugh at the narrow escape.

CHOP Defends Rights Of Transgender Patients

December 11, 2025 Marie Kelly, Workers' World. , , , , ,
A federal court in Philadelphia ruled in favor of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia blocking the Trump administration’s demand for the renowned hospital’s Gender and Sexuality Development Program to turn over confidential information about clinic patients. CHOP runs one of the largest clinics in the U.S. which provides medical care and mental health support for transgender and gender-nonbinary children and teens and their families. Each year since 2014, hundreds of new families seek care through the program.

Study: Gender-Affirming Care Lowers Suicide Risk For Trans Kids

November 28, 2025 Chris Walker, Truthout. , , ,
A newly published study reveals that a certain kind of gender-affirming care for transgender kids and young adults likely lowers rates of suicidality among those populations. The study, published in the Journal of Pediatrics, examined 432 patients between the ages of 12 and 20 years old who received treatment at an unnamed Midwestern academic medical center. Patients who were set to receive gender-affirming care filled out Ask Suicide-Screening Questions (ASQ) surveys prior to receiving hormone therapy (HT) treatment, then repeated the questionnaire at future visits.

US Teen Mohammed Ibrahim Released From Israeli Prison

November 27, 2025 Al Jazeera. , , ,
Israeli authorities have freed Palestinian American teenager Mohammed Ibrahim after more than nine months of detention, in a case that advocates say embodies Israeli abuses against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Mohammed’s release on Thursday came after a months-long pressure campaign from United States lawmakers and civil rights groups. The teenager from Florida was 15 years old in February when he was arrested and taken from his family home in the town of al-Mazraa ash-Sharqiya, near Ramallah. He turned 16 while being held in Israeli jail, where he drastically lost weight and contracted a skin infection.

16-Year-Old US Citizen Mohammed Ibrahim Abducted By Israel

November 2, 2025 Veterans For Peace, Popular Resistance. , , ,
On February 16, 2025, more than two-dozen heavily-armed Israeli soldiers broke in and kidnapped Mohammed from his family home in the middle of the night. The soldiers blindfolded him and tied his arms behind his back. At the time, Mohammed was just 15 years old. While in captivity, he turned 16 and has been forced to endure inhumane conditions, which he described in vivid detail a week ago when Israel finally granted him contact with the outside world. Mohammed’s family and community are worried sick. Israel hasn’t allowed them to speak to or visit him since his abduction. They miss Mohammed dearly and are devastated that the United States isn’t doing more to secure his release and safe return home.

US Coalition Calls For Immediate Release Of American Teenager Detained By Israel

October 21, 2025 Syma Mohammed, Middle East Eye. , , , ,
A US-wide coalition is calling for the immediate release of a Palestinian-American teenager being held in Israeli military detention since February of this year. The coalition, comprising a diverse range of activists, distributed on Saturday more than 2,000 flyers at the "No King" protests across six US states, urging people to contact their representatives and demand the release of Mohammed Ibrahim, 16, from Tampa, Florida. The group has been raising awareness about Mohammed's incarceration and lobbying their congressional representatives. In August, the group sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio to secure his release.

Artificial Intelligence On Trial

September 1, 2025 Professor Victoria Sutton, Native News Online. , , ,
Two cases alleging harms caused by artificial intelligence are emerging this week that are cases that involve children’s particular vulnerabilities—vulnerabilities artificial intelligence is designed to exploit. In North Carolina v. Tiktok the state has filed a complaint against Tiktok for the harm caused to children by creating addictions to scrolling through the app’s features, including functions of suggesting to the child they are missing things when they are away from the app, increasing their usage. Meanwhile, a case filed in state court in California, San Francisco district, Raine v. OpenAI, LLC, is the first wrongful death case against an artificial intelligence app. The suicide death of a 17-year old due to the line of encouragement he received from OpenAI is alleged to have directly led to his death.

How Healthcare Workers Are Defending Transgender Patients

In the five years Quinn has worked as a licensed counselor, they have seen the astonishing positive impact that gender-affirming care can have on young patients’ lives. “You talk to these kids, and they can have such complicated experiences with depression and social anxiety, and then you start providing hormones and gender-affirming care, and you see this dramatic difference in how they are able to engage with the world,” explained Quinn, who is going by a pseudonym. “It’s so clear that this is what helps our trans young people to be contributing to society and fully themselves, to meet expected life milestones in ways that are healthy, and connect with community in good ways.”

The Unrelenting Violence Against Black Youth In Latin America:

January 11, 2025 Janvieve Williams Comrie, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
The December 2024 murders of four Afro-Ecuadorian boys in Guayaquil’s Las Malvinas neighborhood have laid bare the entrenched racism and neglect faced by Black communities in Ecuador. Ismael and Josué Arroyo, of 15 and 14 years of age, Nehemías Arboleda, 15, and Steven Medina 11, disappeared on December 8th, their dismembered bodies discovered days later near a military base. This heinous act has drawn national and international condemnation, with demands for justice and accountability growing louder. The government’s response—a state of emergency and curfew in Guayaquil and other areas until at least March 3, 2025—has been criticized for its misplaced focus.

What Is Salting?

January 1, 2025 Kim Kelly, Portside. , , ,
The resurgence of the American labor movement is being led in no small part by a cohort of young, diverse, fired-up workers around the country. Union density remains embarrassingly low overall, but last month the National Labor Relations Board, or NLRB, released some genuinely inspiring numbers that suggest the perceived upswing in union activity is more than just a vibe. During the 2024 fiscal year, which ended in September, the number of union petitions filed jumped 27% compared with 2023 — and was more than double what the agency received in 2021. Why does this matter? Basically, filing these petitions is a concrete sign that more people are trying to unionize their workplaces.

Hope In Turbulent Times: Native Leaders Take The Long View

December 26, 2024 Stephanie Woodard, Resilience. , , , ,
Representatives from three tribes discuss how their communities have learned to endure by celebrating connections. In the wake of the 2024 election, Barn Raiser talks to prominent Native leaders and mentors, who tell us in edited interviews how and why their communities have long endured, even in divisive and unsettled times. Right now, all of us who live together on this earth face not just political instability but the “dual crises of climate change and social injustice,” according to Fawn Sharp, citizen of the Quinalt Indian Nation, in Taholah, Washington, and former president of the National Congress of American Indians.
