NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/trum...

I keep coming back to this number uncovered by @jeffernsthausen.bsky.social in this new @propublica.org investigation: Trump has deported moms of U.S. citizens at four times the rate Biden did. So what becomes of those U.S. citizen kids?

NEW and STUNNING: A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

NEW: More than 11,000. That’s how many US citizen children have a parent who has been detained under Trump, our new data analysis shows. When Doris Flores was separated from her four-month-old who was still breastfeeding, she turned to her pastor for help. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

NEW: TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help since the Trump administration began dismantling the CFPB.

My team @propublica.org is hiring. We're looking for a data reporter itching to do ambitious, impactful investigations that uncover abuses of power and betrayals of the public trust. Maybe that's you? grnh.se/iunysgl96us

So proud of this reporting and the team who made it happen

Update: We just published the code behind our analysis of second-trimester pregnancy loss complications in Texas: github.com/propublica/t...

When we set out to do this analysis, we hoped to build on an existing methodology to study severe complications in early pregnancy — but there wasn't one. So, in consultation with dozens of experts, @sophiechou.bsky.social, Lizzie Presser and I developed our own. Here's how we did it:

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

My ⁦‪ProPublica‬⁩ colleague ⁦‪Joel Jacobs and I have been reporting on astronomical payday lending rates charged by Native American tribes and their outside partners. Now MN shows states can take action to protect consumers. www.propublica.org/article/minn...

This year, @megomatz.bsky.social and Joel Jacobs found companies owned by the LDF tribe showed up as a creditor in ~1/100 bankruptcy cases sampled nationwide. @agellison.bsky.social just essentially pushed them out of Minnesota with forgiveness for $1m in loans www.propublica.org/article/minn...
