Silicone wristbands can help scientists track people’s exposure to pollutants like ‘forever chemicals’ From wearable samplers to passive environmental monitoring, new research is changing how scientists observe chemical exposure – without invasive sampling.

Environmental chemists are now using silicone wristbands to track invisible exposure to toxins like PFAS, or "forever chemicals," in people's everyday environments.

Nearly 40% of nonorganic fruits and vegetables grown in California contain traces of pesticides that are also PFAS, or "forever chemicals," according to a new investigation. https://cnn.it/4bqTFYm

Columbia says DHS detained student after agents entered university building Acting university president says agents misrepresented themselves to gain entry to the residential building

NEW: ICE agents reportedly lied their way into Columbia housing, without a warrant, to arrest yet another student.

This comes almost one year after plainclothes ICE agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil at his Columbia residence, also without a warrant. ICE has no place on our campuses or in our streets.

ICE is Rapidly Expanding Dangerous 287(g) Agreements with Local Police The ACLU’s research details the Trump administration’s dangerous expansion of the 287(g) program, making law enforcement and state agencies act as ICE agents.

At least 77.2 million people — 32% of the country — now live in a county with a local law enforcement agency that has enlisted in the 287(g) program.

Our new report, Deputized for Disaster, examines how these dangerous collaborations between local police and ICE endanger our communities.
