A Mother Jones investigation details how two Dallas-area men were swept up in a Trump-era deportation effort using a centuries-old wartime law, with ICE citing tattoos as alleged gang links.

Attorneys for Leqaa Kordia, a Palestinian woman arrested in New Jersey and being detained in an ICE facility in Alvarado, are demanding her release in federal court.
