The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis. My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives? So I picked up my camera 👇

Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court. DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations." DOJ blames ICE (page 2)

NEW: Minnesota Kicks Off Legal Battle With Trump Administration to Hold ICE Shooters Accountable

O'HARE (Chicago): "There are dozens of ICE agents at TSA checkpoint, almost all of them doing the jobs of the TSA agents. They are the ones checking IDs and passports and verifying flight info, while TSA agents stand there and do nothing."

Today, we wrote to @propublica.org’s board of directors to inform them that our unit overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike and urge them to instruct management to agree to a fair contract now. Read our letter here: www.propublicaguild.org/updates/to-t...

New: *American kids* are being caught up in the administration's continuing immigration crackdown. A toddler, a preschooler and a 7-year-old — all citizens — were deported. by @nicolefoy.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/amer...

Dear IRE members and the broader journalism community, I’m reaching out on behalf of IRE’s Board and staff with a heavy heart. Full statement: https://www.ire.org/2026/03/21/ire-mourns-the-loss-of-executive-director-diana-r-fuentes/

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

ProPublica’s work has never been more important. We don’t want to strike, but we need a FAIR CONTRACT.

Today 92% of @propublicaguild.org’s voting members approved a strike, with 99% casting a ballot. That means we’re ready to walk out if mgmt doesn’t get serious about discipline, AI & wages. You can support us by amplifying our message or giving to our strike fund: www.gofundme.com/f/support-pr...

these are the best reporters in the country, give them whatever the fuck they want www.status.news/p/cbs-news-l...

As a @propublica.org alum, I urge its leadership to talk seriously with staffers about guardrails around the use of AI in the newsroom. This seems like a solvable issue. Solidarity with my former colleagues @propublicaguild.org

I really appreciated this @startribune.com long fact check of statements made by the Feds before during and after their occupation of Minnesota. The results will not surprise you.

NEW: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is blocking the DEA from releasing an unredacted document from the Epstein files about an investigation involving drug trafficking & money laundering, according to a letter @wyden.senate.gov sent to Blanche Tuesday www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Just ran into a man wearing a Colorado Rockies hat. I asked if he’s from Colorado. “No,” he said. This must be how Jesus felt about Peter.

The Trump administration turned vast expanses of federal land along the southern border, like this stretch in southern New Mexico, into national defense areas, but their attempts to prosecute "trespassers" are floundering in court. @propublica.org reports: www.propublica.org/article/immi...

Some really great and clever reporting here. Accountability begins with the simplest of notions: Knowing the identity of those who use force in the government’s name.

Wow. 😢

Breaking news: A jury convicted people who protested outside an ICE facility in Texas of providing material support to terrorists, and other charges in a closely watched case in which the gov't argued the protesters were "Antifa". www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations. But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority. By @hannahallam.bsky.social

NEW: Renée Good. Alex Pretti. Before: Ruben Martinez. Friday TX DPS released body cam + docs for the 23yo who DHS agents killed while on vacation in South Padre. Videos shows him driving while brake lights on, before gunshots. w/ @aydenrunnels.bsky.social www.texastribune.org/2026/03/06/s...

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

What's angered Trump re Noem? Her testimony about a $200 million self-promotional ad campaign at DHS — about which @propublica.org broke the critical details last year: www.propublica.org/article/kris...

Thank you @politico.com for a very nice nod to our investigation of Trump officials and their linkages to the industry they oversee. S/O to the brilliant Al Shaw and @bxroberts.org

Awesome database published by my @propublica.org colleagues where you can look up financial disclosures of over 1,500 of Trump's appointees. #NICAR26 data nerds will appreciate this one! projects.propublica.org/trump-team-f...

Rep. Jamie Raskin referenced our investigation during the House Judiciary Committee's questioning of Sec. Kristi Noem today. Link to this story: propub.li/3PgciXd 👇

Citing reporting by @propublica.org and others, nearly 4,000 doctors, nurses and health professionals sent a letter to DHS Sec Kristi Noem calling for the immediate release of all children currently in immigration detention. Full letter: tinyurl.com/yz2amueb 1/

NEW: We obtained 911 audio from the Texas detention center housing hundreds of immigrant kids and their parents. Since mid-September, EMS crews have been dispatched to Dilley at least 11 times to treat children in medical distress. Burning fevers. Low oxygen. Seizures. A broken leg. My report:

“Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Rohingya refugee from Burma, was nearly blind and spoke no English. He was dropped off by agents in Buffalo on the other side of town from his home.”

Three ICE agents accidentally shot themselves in the leg during routine training exercises within two days last year.

U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales had affair with aide who set herself on fire, ex-staffer says www.expressnews.com/news/article...

NEW: How a Planned Disney World Vacation Turned Into Four Months in Immigration Detention 9-year-old Maria Antonia begged her mom to take her to the park’s annual Halloween celebration. But as soon as she arrived at Miami International Airport, everything started going wrong.

Habeas cases filed by immigrants claiming their detention is illegal have taken off to levels we have never seen before. Just look at that chart. www.propublica.org/article/habe...

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship. Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

That was an artful middle finger.

In my 30 years in journalism, I don't believe I've seen anyone beclown himself as thoroughly and as profoundly as Will Lewis has. Good riddance. www.ft.com/content/5fa6...

Halibut that? 🥁

TB and Covid active in a troubled El Paso immigrant tent camp where 3 people have died over a 6 week period ( including one ruled a homicide) & following a measles outbreak at the Dilley family detention center. Reach out if you have info on Dilley/ East Montana www.texastribune.org/2026/02/07/i...

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Renee Good’s vehicle after an immigration agent fatally shot her, but Trump administration officials ordered them to stop investigating. About a dozen prosecutors have since resigned, leaving the Minnesota U.S. attorney’s office in turmoil.

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care. Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

Our members joined the #SaveThePost rally in D.C. today to protest the mass layoffs at the Washington Post. We stand in solidarity with @postguild.bsky.social. Support laid off workers: www.gofundme.com/f/standing-t... + www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo... ✊

In almost every instance, President Donald Trump’s administration blamed the injured and dead for the shooting within hours of the incident, raising questions about whether federal officials can fairly and objectively investigate their own.

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but every Somali I represent in immigration court currently (8 of them) have today had their hearings cancelled and their judges reassigned. They're now all assigned to a video judge from Louisiana and scheduled for court hearing in one month. 🧵

NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning. Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...

Jeff Bezos gave $75 million to support Melania Trump's vanity film, but he doesn't have the money for the hundreds of journalists he laid off at The Post today. Democracy dies with Bezos – unless we fight back. Here's how you can help: newsguild.org/mass-layoffs...
