just an update, turns out the cat owner is a maha influencer who lives with her 90+ year old dad in what i can only assume is his house in adams morgan. and if you were wondering, no, the cat was not up to date on rabies, so. incredible things happening in nw dc.
went on a wild goose chase to get this stray cat back to its owner, the number registered to the microchip was literally out of service lmao. and then when we finally get them the cat, they act like we overreacted to seeing a friendly cat without a collar in the street covered in lesions. like tf.

NEW: DHS's Inspector General releases a scathing report about the Everglades detention camp known as "Alligator Alcatraz." The OIG finds that the now-closed camp, violated multiple ICE standards.
The OIG also confirms detainees were punished with placement in a metal cage in the Florida heat.🧵
