Interesting thread from a local news reporter on ICE raids and how some national media report/obtain info vis-a-vis local news.
Let's talk about some of the reporting on the ICE raids that took place in Denver/Aurora yesterday. There are clearly some inaccuracies circulating online right now Let's start with this one It's categorically not true. (this aired this morning on @FoxNews) 1/

The UN has responded. A spokesperson for @antonioguterres says: “The peacekeeping mission is providing protection to unarmed individuals who sought refuge within its premises in strict accordance with international humanitarian law and human rights law, no individual under MONUSCO protection left its premises while bearing arms.”
Nous alertons le public sur les activités criminelles de la #MONUSCO à #Goma : elle a libéré 100 éléments des #FARDC et des #FDLR, armés, dans la ville pour massacrer des civils. Nous avons capturé 5 d’entre eux (3 FARDC et 2 FDLR) en possession de 4 fusils et 3 #grenades.

. @UNReliefChief, speaking to Al Jazeera English from Gaza, says initially, the priority was getting food into Gaza to halt starvation. Now priority is getting tents into the Strip as many people returning home to find their home uninhabitable. When it comes to Washington DC talk about removing Palestinians from Gaza, he says: "People are talking about cleaning them out, moving them elsewhere. No one has asked the Palestinians what they want. No ones asked the people of Gaza what they want. But I have today, and I can tell you that they're staying put."

Israel cut electricity to Gaza. I think it has the power to flip the switch back on. But hasn’t.
.@tombateman: Can you confirm that under the president’s plan any and all Palestinians who want to stay in Gaza on their land will be allowed Leavitt: I can confirm that the president is committed to rebuilding Gaza and to temporarily relocating those who are there because it is a demolition site, there is no running water, there is no electricity… Tom: That’s not an answer

The US is currently not one of the 47 elected member states of the UN Human Rights Council. So there is really nothing to withdraw from. Regarding UNRWA, the US already halted funding to it under Biden.
New: WH pool: POTUS sighed two EOs. 1. Reimposing maximum pressure on Iran. “It’s very tough on Iran.” POTUS said he’s “torn” on signing it. “Hopefully we are not going to have to use it very much” “I’m unhappy to do it.” 2. An EO withdrawing the US from UNRWA and the UN human rights council.
