Even with federal grants largely restored, scientists say the Trump administration is still preventing those funds from reaching them. The c
Standing in his laboratory, Harvard professor Sean Eddy gazes at a row of vacant work stations. More than a year ago, this lab was filled with over a dozen researchers. On a given day they might be working independently on analyzing genomic sequencing or gathered around the group table, drinking coffee and helping each other troubleshoot questions about genomic data from different species.
Now, after his funding was terminated under the Trump administration, the computer screens are gone and the room is silent. He's one of the last people left.
"âSeeing these labs empty â this is not the way it's supposed to be," he says. "This was a very vibrant lab."
I have southern relatives who say itâs their culture. I informed them that their parents came here illegally in the 1960âs and 70âs and that they are actually anchor babies. Occasionally on Facebook Iâll ask them if anyone has reported them to ICE yet.
When some of them get loud Iâll remind the gay ones and the ones with inter-racial children about the times they were harassed by the Klan. And I never miss an opportunity to remind the evangelical ones that they are not Christians because they refuse to acknowledge the New Testament and Socialist Jesus.
I have no place in my life for MAGAts. Their lack of self awareness is incredible. They just follow along like sheep and arenât even aware of all the family members who died fighting Nazis and fighting for unions on the home front.
Youâre not really resisting until youâve cut the MAGAt Nazi racists and pedo protectors out of your life.

A Christ figurine watches over the door as the man secures the bolts and bars that protect his home. If the locks fail, a host of archangels, holy cards and crosses stand guard on nearby walls and tables.
âMost people donât live like I do,â said the Mexican immigrant, who didnât want to give his name out of fear for his safety. âI know theyâre just pieces of wood or little locks, but they help me because I feel a little safer.â
He said nights have haunted him since Jan. 20, 2025. That was when a group of assailants entered a house he shared with other immigrants in Greensboro, North Carolina, and a hooded man shouting âICE! ICE!â kicked down his bedroom door.
âI raised my hands, and he asked, âWhereâs the money?â Thatâs when I realized it was a robbery. It wasnât ICE. It wasnât the police,â the Mexican immigrant said.
The assault, which local police have not yet solved and for which no arrests have been made, happened the same day Donald Trump returned to the White House for his second term, vowing to carry out the largest mass deportation operation in the nationâs history. Since then, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has swelled by thousands of agents and has carried out waves of arrests and deportations in cities across the country.
Although neither the federal government nor local authorities publish specific records of people impersonating immigration agents, an analysis by Noticias Telemundo, based on court records, police reports and news articles, suggests that the number of such crimes has increased over the past year.

Marcos Gaspar Da Silva was held at ICE's Mesa airport facility for 10 days. The overcrowded facility has no beds or showers.
Since 2010, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has operated a little-known short-term holding facility at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. But starting last year, as the Trump administration began arresting immigrants in large numbers and packing detention centers, the 25,000-square-foot facility has become a flashpoint.
Known as the Arizona Removal Operations Coordinations Center, or AROCC, the facility has no beds or showers and is meant to house roughly 150 people for just 12 hours at a time before theyâre flown to detention centers in other states or deported from the country. But since President Donald Trump retook the White House in 2025 and implemented his mass deportation agenda, the facility has consistently been grossly overcrowded, with the daily population once spiking to nearly 800 people.
