A new immigrant detention partnership nicknamed after Indiana’s iconic racetrack inspires backlash
SUMMARY: The Trump administration announced a new partnership with Indiana to expand immigrant detention by adding 1,000 beds at the Miami Correctional Facility, reviving the 287(g) program that deputizes local law enforcement for immigration enforcement. Touted as the “Speedway Slammer,” the initiative sparked backlash from the town of Speedway and IndyCar officials due to unauthorized use of local names and imagery. Indiana Governor Mike Braun supports aggressive immigration enforcement, emphasizing cooperation with federal authorities. The move aligns with Indiana’s broader role in Trump’s immigration agenda, including opening a new immigration court and plans to use Camp Atterbury to house detainees temporarily.

Ghislaine Maxwell's attorneys argue against unsealing grand jury testimony in Epstein case
SUMMARY: Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorneys oppose unsealing grand jury testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Maxwell, serving a prison sentence for sex trafficking and appealing her case, was recently interviewed for nine hours by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche but did not implicate President Trump, CBS News confirmed. Trump expressed confidence in Blanche, who was his former personal attorney. The family of Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre criticized Maxwell’s treatment, labeling her an active participant, not a victim. Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Bill and Hillary Clinton and former Justice Department officials as part of ongoing investigations into Epstein’s crimes.
“Jeffrey Epstein is dead. Ghislaine Maxwell is not,” Maxwell’s attorney David Markus wrote in a nine-page filing. “Whatever interest the public may have in Epstein, that interest cannot justify a broad intrusion into grand jury secrecy in a case where the defendant is alive, her legal options are viable, and her due process rights remain.”
