Gaza Doctor Returns to a Hospital in Ruins After Detention

A senior Gazan anaesthesiologist, Dr Ahmed Muhanna, returns to Gaza after 665 days in Israeli detention to find al-Awda hospital hollowed out of staff, equipment, and medicine, with 75 colleagues killed in custody and 1,200 Palestinian healthcare workers killed and 384 detained since Oct 2023. Gaza’s healthcare system is ravaged: no functional MRI machines and only one CT scanner, border closures and fuel shortages have forced the hospital to suspend services, and WHO says 77% of the population faces acute food insecurity. International NGOs face new license revocations, further hampering aid. Muhanna continues to treat patients while coping with trauma and a bleak outlook for his children’s future.

Eight Hours in ICE Custody Shed Light on Detention Chaos at Whipple Building

Two U.S. citizens were detained for about eight hours after federal agents stopped their car near the Bishop Henry Whipple Building in Minneapolis, pepper-sprayed the vehicle, smashed its windows and arrested them for obstruction before releasing them without charges. Inside the Whipple Building, detainees faced crowded cells, intermittent access to water and restrooms, and reports of taunting and other rough treatment; lawmakers who visited were briefly allowed in and then denied further access. The episode also included reports of agents offering money or legal protection in exchange for names of protest organizers, underscoring the chaotic nature of ICE operations during a surge and the impact on detainees and their families.

ICE Detains Two Target Employees in Minnesota, Triggering Backlash and Legal Action

Two U.S. citizens employed at a Richfield Target were detained by ICE agents, allegedly forced to the ground and loaded into a dark SUV; a video shows a detainee in distress, though authenticity is not verified. ICE says one of the individuals was arrested for assaulting federal officers, but details remain unclear. The incident follows the January killing of Renee Good and drew sharp criticism from local lawmakers, including Minnesota Rep. Michael Howard, who announced a push to have ICE leave Minnesota, and from Attorney General Keith Ellison, who said he will sue the federal government over alleged excessive force and warrantless arrests. Reports indicate the detainees were released with injuries, but officials and witnesses describe ongoing trauma and rights violations; Target did not comment. The Guardian notes the videos’ authenticity could not be independently verified, and DHS/ICE provided limited information.

A Guardian report follows Randall Gamboa Esquivel, a Costa Rican man who re-entered the United States, was detained by ICE, and deported back to Costa Rica in a vegetative state, where he died weeks later.
