Me and my colleagues at Gothamist & @wnyc spent the last 10 months poring over 100s of lawsuits filed last year by women who say they were sexually assaulted by city employees while they were held at Rikers Island. My final story is out today. This is what we found, a 🧵:

The real reason Texas can't control its border: it needs the migrants too badly. For 8 months, I've investigated undocumented construction workers, the bosses hiring them, and the politicians who look the other way: texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

Reuveni essentially says that the government is handling the case contrary to his advice and asks for another 24 hours to try to persuade them to try to bring Abrego-Garcia back. DOJ's Reuveni: "I would ask the court to give us, the defendants, one more chance to do this."

An attorney for the Department of Justice told a federal judge on Friday that he has recommended the government to return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was sent to El Salvador, back to the U.S. and requested the court to give him “24 hours” to persuade his

BREAKING — Federal judge Paula Xinis rules the Trump administration sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a notorious prison in El Salvador “without legal basis” and orders officials to bring him back to the U.S. by midnight on Monday, April 7

Just updated this timeline to fix a typo and an error in the last box where I'd gotten manner of arrest wrong. I present the full version Mr. Abrego's time in the US, using court documents to explain the allegations of gang membership and what actually happened in his case.

MAJOR SCOOP: The local detective who first accused Mr. Abrego Garcia of being a member of MS-31 was suspended from the police force and indicted merely WEEKS LATER for providing confidential information to a sex worker who he was paying in exchange for sexual acts.
