Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis last month and placed in a Texas detention facility. Though he was eventually released, his father's account of the boy falling ill while in the center highlighted longstanding issues for young children in detention. Accounts from families, their lawyers and court filings describe the Dilley Immigration Processing Center as a place where hundreds of children languish as they're served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care. Those concerns have taken on new urgency after health officials confirmed two measles cases among people detained at the facility. Advocates and medical experts warn that a highly contagious disease spreading inside a crowded facility housing children — some already medically vulnerable — poses an acute public-health risk. Since April, when the federal government resumed large-scale family detention, an estimated 1,800 children had passed through Dilley as of December, according to figures provided by court-appointed monitors. Some families remain for a few weeks; others have been detained for more than six months. Read more about the conditions at Dilley. |

Members of Congress will be able to begin reviewing the unredacted version of the Justice Department's files on Jeffrey Epstein on Monday morning. The lawmakers will be able to look over the material on computers at the DOJ offices, but not the physical documents themselves, if they provide 24 hours' notice. They may take notes but can't bring in any electronic devices, according to a letter. The review will only be of the 3 million files currently available to the public, not the extensive trove of more than 6 million total documents the DOJ says it has in its possession. Read more about the review process, first reported by NBC News. |

Once labeled a draft bust, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold had been cast aside by a number of teams. During those years, he had gone looking for better coaching, rebuilt his confidence and finally landed with the Seahawks — a team that happened to prioritize the mental part of the game. Thus began the team's project: Darnold's redemption. On Sunday — the biggest stage imaginable — the QB will have a chance to exorcise Seattle's demons and complete his own arc from castoff to champion. This Super Bowl matchup is tough for New York Jets fans in particular, now that their former quarterback and biggest rivals have made it to the final games - they'll lose out no matter who wins. Follow Darnold's journey from a 0-33 Jets loss to Super Bowl LX. The Super Bowl will broadcast on NBC and Peacock on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. EST. Tune in to NBC's pregame coverage beginning at 1 p.m. Sign up for The Sports Desk for reporting on the Super Bowl, the Olympics, the World Cup and more delivered to your inbox. |

Bad Bunny promised to make the world dance with his historic Super Bowl halftime show as the first Spanish-language Latin solo artist headliner. The Puerto Rican singer has avoided giving away any spoilers ahead of Sunday's show, but it's safe to say that his fans expect him to showcase his heritage with some distinct cultural references and Bad Bunny-ism. Whether he gets us to salsa to "Baile Inolvidable," twirl around a "flamboyán" or get down to some "perreo," this (unofficial) Bad Bunny correspondent has got you covered. I created a brief guide for Bad Bunny novices breaking down some of his lyrics and translating a few of his iconic phrases in Spanish that may be handy to know ahead of the halftime show. "Bad Bunny scholars" Vanessa Díaz and Petra Rivera-Rideau also helped me dive into the artist's culturally significant journey to global stardom and how Puerto Rico "shaped him and his music." — Nicole Acevedo, reporter |
