Below is the translated transcript, lete know if I made any mistakes and I will correct it.

He had this at the hospital.

That was all that wasn't.

These have been difficult weeks at the Díaz family home, a house that was looking forward with great happiness to the arrival of Lix André.

His birth was going to be a source of great joy, but weeks before his arrival into this world, his father, Lix Alberto Díaz Carrasco, was intercepted by ICE agents right outside his home.

Lix Alberto Díaz Carrasco spoke to Telemundo News from the ICE detention center.

My door was forced open, and then they began arresting me violently.

Melisa, seven months pregnant, witnessed the arrest, and according to her complaint, was threatened and pushed by the federal agents.

They pushed me and hit my arms.

Did you tell them you were pregnant?

Yes, of course, my belly was already big.

Alberto, who has no criminal record according to his family, was the sole provider.

His pregnant wife was left in charge of their five children and was deeply shaken by the incident.

She says that in the following days, she started feeling unwell and was hospitalized in an emergency.

He told me the baby was dead.

I asked why and he said the baby had suffered from extreme stress.

All she has now are the few belongings of the baby, whose remains are currently in this building, waiting for the family to pay for funeral services.

All I’m asking is that you please give me the chance to leave.

The Department of Homeland Security told Telemundo News that Alberto Díaz had been previously arrested in July 2019 for illegally crossing the country and remains detained awaiting deportation proceedings, but they did not comment on the alleged physical contact between their agents and the pregnant woman.

Now the family is seeking help from the Honduran government to bury the baby they had hoped for so much while their father remains detained.

A federal judge has ordered New York City's mayor to turn over information to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) regarding homeless shelter residents. Court documents reveal that the order compels the mayor to comply with an administrative subpoena issued by ICE targeting a city-run homeless shelter. Rather than treating municipal shelters as protected spaces of last resort for people experiencing extreme poverty and displacement, federal authorities are transforming the city's safety net into an intelligence database for deportation sweeps.

 

CoreCivic, the private prison company based in Brentwood, Tenn., urged U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Thursday, two days after the Democratic Party’s historic wins in the 2026 midterm elections, to move quickly on buying more of its detention facilities, after selling four to the federal government for about $1.3 billion in profit after taxes.

Lucibeth Mayberry, CoreCivic’s president and CEO, spoke Thursday on a call with investors about the company’s third-quarter results, for July through September. She said CoreCivic is still in talks to sell more facilities. She said the price of the ones already sold “rests on the appraiser’s independent conclusion.” In other words, the price depends on what an independent appraiser decides the buildings are worth.

Mayberry said buying more facilities is a key part of the expansion of immigration detention. Asked whether the election results could affect those talks, she said the company is as ready as it was before the election and urged ICE to move quickly.

Mayberry called the sales “cash generating events.” She said they let the company pay off debt and buy back its own stock. She credited CoreCivic’s “strong third quarter results” to increased deportations and immigration sweeps across the country.

In a [quarterly report filed Wednesday](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001070985/000119312526447206/d165428dex991.htm) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, CoreCivic said it sold four facilities with 7,187 beds to the Department of Homeland Security for $2.2 billion, before taxes and costs. They are the California City and Otay Mesa facilities in California, the Appleton Detention Facility in Minnesota, and the Midwest Regional Reception Center. The sales closed on July 2 and Aug. 4.

The report says the sales produced a gain of about $1.8 billion, and about $500 million went to taxes. CoreCivic’s net income, which is its profit after all costs and taxes, was $1.34 billion for the quarter. A year earlier, it was $26.3 million.

...

Mayberry said its detained population is reaching record levels again, with populations at recently activated facilities growing quickly.

She reported 18,283 people detained in its facilities as of Sept. 30, up 8,100, or about 80%, since the start of 2025. Its average daily population rose by 3,302 in the third quarter, including 1,161 from five facilities activated since 2025.

...

An analyst at Northland Securities asked what ICE’s behavior would look like after the election. Mayberry said the environment is stable for the agency to operate and ramp up, that it continues to enter contracts, and that it is increasing enforcement.

Asked whether the election could affect talks about further sales, which the company has called preliminary, she said the discussions are preliminary but that CoreCivic would urge ICE to move quickly, and that it is as ready as it was before the election.

...

Garfinkle said CoreCivic has seen no pushback on per diem rates from state or federal partners, and that 2026 was a good year for rate increases. The company’s updated full-year guidance excludes any additional facility sales to ICE.

Nick Samaniego, a spokesperson for Adventist Health Communications, confirmed in a statement to The Times that a person in federal immigration custody received care at the hospital. The statement noted that the hospital neither requested nor authorized federal agents to restrict the ambulance entrance.

You are putting more thought into their actions than they did.

    Stephen Miller is now in charge of the White House. The selection of Miller is a signal that Donald Trump intends to wreak havoc in his remaining days. It’s a reminder that things are going to get a lot worse before they get better. If Democrats take the bait and don’t remain focused on delivering a platform and top tier candidates in 2028 they’ll waste the opportunity given to them by the American public in the midterms. Max’s rant on Miller is a departure from the norm so sensitive ears should tune out and look elsewhere for news of this story.

     

    San Diego city and school district leaders are demanding answers after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained an 8-year-old boy during an immigration check-in.

    The third grader, a student at Fay Elementary in City Heights, was removed from his family on Wednesday. Advocates say his uncle had brought him to the check-in. The uncle had been caring for the child since the boy's father was deported in March 2025.

    ...

    Wister Gaetan, the co-founder of the Haitian Bridge Alliance and an immigration advocate, has been in touch with the child's family. He said the father's deportation happened when he accidentally drove into Mexico, and said the family was here with Temporary Protected Status from Haiti. President Trump ended that protection this summer.

    "Nobody should accept that this minor, who should be in school, is a threat to our society," Gaetan said.

    Elo-Rivera, San Diego Unified leadership, and several teachers' unions have now sent a three-page letter straight to DHS and HHS. The letter demands the child be brought back into his community and asks the agencies to change placement policies so children taken into federal custody can stay close to their families and schools while continuing their education.

    ...

    The exact whereabouts of the child are unclear. ABC 10News reached out to the Office of Refugee Resettlement to find out where he is and so far haven't heard back.

     

    Just days after a [blue tsunami overtook Texas' political landscape,](https://www.chron.com/news/article/texas-turning-blue-democrats-win-22511567.php) Mayor John Whitmire is already prepared to bring changes to Houston, starting with an executive order[ limiting HPD's contact with immigration law enforcemen](https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/ice-harris-county-sheriff-ed-gonzalez-22501496.php)t.

    During a surprise news conference Friday, Whitmire announced the order with HPD Chief J. Noe Diaz, saying HPD will change how officers cooperate with ICE under SB 4.

    "ICE will only be contacted if someone commits a jailable offense," Diaz said.

    ...

    Whitmire said the election results give Houston more room to change its policies while maintaining his commitment to public safety.

    ...

    And while Republicans still control the Legislature for another couple of months, Whitmire made clear he intends to push back.

    "I will take the responsibility even with the current administration in office for the next two months," Whitmire said. 

    The move comes after several incidents involving ICE in Houston, including one man who was fatally shot by an ICE agent during a traffic stop and another[ man who was hospitalized after being struck by an ICE vehicle.](https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/ice-agent-indicted-houston-bodycam-video-22503282.php) Still, Whitmire pointed to Houston's relative lack of turmoil compared with other cities where the National Guard has been deployed.

    ...

    "I will take that responsibility," Whitmire said when asked how he'd respond to [federal pushback](https://www.chron.com/politics/article/trump-abbott-texas-governor-rino-22510840.php). "I am doing what's in Houston's best interest...I understand there's risk...I wouldn't be surprised if I get some calls."

     

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigators determined that failing medical care preceded the deaths of 23 immigrants in detention.

    The [*San Francisco Chronicle*](https://www.sfchronicle.com/us-world/article/ice-detainee-medical-care-investigations-22495407.php) obtained internal reports on the deaths of 29 immigrant detainees who died between January 2025 and January 2026. In the 29 cases the *Chronicle *reviewed, 23 immigrants died after receiving medical care the agency itself found was deficient.

    ICE investigators determined that detention staff “deviated from safe limits of practice,” or “did not provide medical care within safe limits of practice” for the 23 detainees.

    In at least eight of the cases, medical staff failed to perform CPR correctly, or at all. In only three of the cases, investigators determined that the deficient medical care did not directly contribute to the person’s death.

    ...

    During President Donald Trump’s second term, ICE has subjected tens of thousands of people—including U.S. citizens, lawful immigrants, and immigrants with no criminal convictions—to [overcrowded rooms](https://newrepublic.com/post/215822/federal-judge-ice-mass-arrests-detention-conditions), [unsanitary conditions,](https://newrepublic.com/post/214058/ice-detainee-delaney-hall-edwin-lopez-cornejo-died-lawyer-medical-concerns) and [insufficient food and water](https://newrepublic.com/post/197740/donald-trump-alligator-alcatraz-already-massive-disaster).

    In many cases, immigrants report having been denied adequate [medical care](https://newrepublic.com/post/211563/damning-report-conditions-donald-trump-ice-megaprison). Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff released a report in October 2025 [documenting](https://www.ossoff.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/25.10.24_Sen.-Ossoff-Medical-Neglect-Denial-of-Adequate-Food-or-Water-in-U.S.-Immigration-Detention.pdf) at least “85 credible reports of medical neglect” at U.S. detention centers. In January, ICE [announced](https://newrepublic.com/post/205458/ice-detainees-pay-for-medical-care) that it had stopped paying for immigrant detainees to receive health care—and wasn’t planning on paying again for months.

    For the Trump administration, the cruelty is part of the point. The Department of Homeland Security even [rejected](https://newrepublic.com/post/216414/stephen-miller-shot-down-ice-facilities-humane) plans to construct immigration detention facilities that were more humane.
