Demand comes after Guardian investigation found ICE failed to record data on miscarriages suffered by immigrants in its custody between October 2025 and June 2026

US lawmakers are urgently demanding that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) disclose how many pregnant immigrants have experienced miscarriages, stillbirths and pregnancy-related hospitalizations while in the its custody, after the agency admitted it lost count last year.

US representatives sent the request following a recent Guardian investigation revealing that the Trump administration is detaining a record number of pregnant women and teens, and at the same has lost track of how many suffered miscarriages.

Financial reparations are not the answer. Working together with our Commonwealth family is the best way to ensure prosperity for us all

• Andy Burnham open to calls for formal apology for Britain’s role in slave trade

On 28 October 1787, Thomas Clarkson pushed through the crowds to reach the pulpit of Manchester Cathedral. A campaigner for abolishing slavery, he spoke urgently about the horrors of the slave trade and the humanity of enslaved people. “He drinks the cup of sorrow,” Clarkson said. “And he drinks it at our hands.”

During Black History Month, these are the stories it is important to remember. They show us the complicated truth of our history. Thousands of people in Manchester signed a petition against slavery after Clarkson’s sermon. And yet Manchester’s cotton industry was built on the labour of enslaved people. There are similar stories up and down the nation. We are a country where brave people led the way in abolishing slavery, but we are also a country that participated in the trade in human lives.

• British people can’t be made to pay for the wrongs of slavery – but we must confront our complicated history | Andy Burnham

Andy Burnham has gone further than any previous prime minister towards offering a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, in a Guardian article ahead of a Commonwealth leaders’ summit where the subject is expected to dominate.

As he prepares to fly to the Caribbean next week, the prime minister said he was open to calls for an official apology on behalf of the state and offered formal talks to those affected, including individual countries and campaign groups at home and abroad.

Hi readers, happy Friday! We have a big weekend coming up: Halloween, the New York Marathon — and the end of daylight saving time. At 2 am on Sunday, our clocks will fall back one hour, returning us to standard time for the next four and a half months or so. 

Depending on who you ask, it’s either the welcome return of before-work sunshine, or the start of a dreary slog through 4:30 pm sunsets. (The good news, though, is that however you feel about falling back, it’s not nearly as hard on the body as springing forward will be in March, when we return to daylight saving time.)

It’s also a topic that draws strong opinions, including in the pages of Vox (which has both pointed out the awfulness of daylight saving time and argued that it should go on forever). 

President Donald Trump, of all people, is a strong proponent of the latter view: Several times this month, he’s harangued the US Senate to pass a bill making daylight saving time — that is, the time we’re in from March to early November, with later sunrises and later sunsets — permanent year-round, even posting the personal cellphone number of permanent DST opponent Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR). 

Despite his lobbying, the Senate hasn’t taken action. But should it? Is there a better solution, or are we best off the way things are, despite the burrs? We get into that and more below.

Time for the daylight saving time debate

As we mentioned above, a bill to establish permanent daylight saving time — the Sunshine Protection Act — is currently on hold in the Senate after passing the House by an overwhelming margin this summer. Nineteen US states have also passed laws that would do the same thing, though they won’t be able to take effect until or unless Congress acts, too. (Two US states, Arizona and Hawaii, are currently on permanent standard time, which is allowed.)

Advocates say that more daylight in the evening gives Americans more time to pursue leisure activities after work (the golf industry is a big fan), plus it may even have some positive effect on crime rates and the economy. 

But the utopian ideal of no more darkness before 5 pm may not be all that it’s cracked up to be. Critics of the permanent time change point out that the US has tried permanent DST before, and it was not well received.

As the Washingtonian reported in 2022, “While 79 percent of Americans approved of the change in December 1973, approval had dropped to 42 percent three months later.” 

That’s because there’s still only so much sunlight to go around, and permanent DST makes for very dark winter mornings — think sunrises after 9 am along the western edges of time zones. When it took effect in the ’70s, it quickly proved dangerous for children heading to school in the dark. 

As Vox reported in 2016, courtesy of the cartographer Andy Woodruff, the change would leave most people with a markedly worse sunrise situation in exchange for an after-work boost.

If we still want to escape the biannual time change, though, the opposite solution might be preferable: Permanent standard time leaves more people with a reasonable sunrise time, and has less of an impact on what people described as a reasonable sunset time (really — check out the maps in the story here).

It’s also considered the healthiest option by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, which notes that permanent standard time better aligns with our circadian rhythms. 

The most likely option, though, is that we keep muddling along like this: Darker evenings are a hard political sell, and Congress abandoned its last permanent DST experiment after less than a year. At least we mostly won’t have to reset our clocks manually on Sunday morning.
