Con Artists Posing as Ice Agents Are Using WhatsApp to Bilk Vulnerable People Out of Their Savings

This story was originally published by ProPublica. As an asylum-seeker living in the U.S., Jasmir Urbina worried as she watched violence break out amid the military-style immigration sweeps across the country. Then she read about legal residents being arrested at immigration court and wondered when federal agents would set their sights on her city. Urbina had fled Nicaragua in 2022 and legally resided with her husband, a fellow asylum-seeker, in New Orleans while reporting to immigration agents for check-ins as she awaited her day in court. Finally, the date was approaching in late November 2025. Days later, the Trump administration would flood the region with federal officers in “Operation Swamp Sweep.” Urbina, 35, began searching for a Spanish speaker who could help her, and said she stumbled on a Facebook post advertising the services of Catholic Charities, a prominent aid organization whose services include assisting immigrants. After a few clicks, she connected via WhatsApp with “Susan Millan,” who claimed to have a law degree. The woman’s photo looked professional, showing a small library in the blurry background, according to a screenshot Urbina shared with ProPublica. The asylum-seeker said she discussed her predicament with the woman she thought was an attorney.

Synopsis Meta Platforms experienced a slight decline of 20 million daily active users across its social media platforms in Q1 CY 2026, marking a break in its growth streak.

Take Action: Protect Voting Rights – Democrats

Take Action: Protect Voting Rights The Court overturned decades of precedent and undercut a core victory of the Civil Rights Movement. With this ruling, the Court has opened the door to diluting Black, Latino, AANHPI, Native American, and Alaska Native representation across the country, especially in the South, where Republicans have made clear they want to dilute the voting power of minority communities. While the Supreme Court’s decision is a gut punch, make no mistake: Democrats will fight tooth and nail to ensure the voices of all Americans will be heard in November and in every election that follows. We must organize, mobilize, and remain vigilant in defending the right to vote. The fight against racial gerrymandering is now more urgent than ever, and the hard-won right to vote must be protected for all Americans. This moment calls for immediate action: stay engaged, support voting rights advocacy, and hold elected leaders accountable for restoring fair maps and fair elections. Attend a Briefing on the Impacts of the Decision Join us for a virtual briefing on voting rights and Louisiana v. Callais with DNC Chair Ken Martin and Civic Engagement and Voter Protection Director Herly Rosemond at 7 p.m. E.T. on
