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. www.wired.com/story/ice-de...

By October, ICE was planning a major expansion of its social media surveillance, with plans to hire nearly 30 contractors to scan X, Facebook, TikTok, and other platforms to target people for deportation. www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

In December, WIRED’s @davidgilbert.bsky.social warned that Trump’s mass deportation plans would only intensify in the new year. At the time, we didn’t yet know how quickly things would escalate in early 2026. www.wired.com/story/expire...

On January 7, ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis. Almost immediately, the federal government began pushing a narrative that wildly conflicted with video footage shared online. www.wired.com/story/maga-t...

We then reported that GoFundMe allowed a fundraiser tied to the potential legal defense of the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good to remain online, despite company rules barring fundraisers connected to violent crimes. www.wired.com/story/gofund...
