Human Rights Crisis in ICE Detention Centers
IN EARLY AUGUST, the number of people in immigration detention in the U.S. surged to an all-time high of more than 60,000. While the Trump administration waited for massive new detention centers to open, it turned to federal prisons and jails, hastily constructed state facilities, and temporary holding cells that were never meant to house people for any extended amount of time.

The growing popularity of factory-enhanced off-road-capable full-size trucks means the rowdiest version of the third-generation Tundra has plenty of stiff competition from the Ford F-150 Raptor, Ram 1500 TRX, and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2. Toyota needed to come out swinging.
