In 2024, we obtained hundreds of pages of ICE training materials. None of the training documents we obtained address how to de-escalate tense or dangerous situations and avoid the use of force. www.typeinvestigations.org/investigatio...

Public records reveal there were 59 shootings by ICE officers from 2015 to 2021 across 26 states and two US territories. At least 24 people were injured in the shootings and 23 were killed. www.typeinvestigations.org/investigatio...

From 2023: Amid rising geopolitical tensions, the U.S. is expanding its military presence in Greenland, increasing the risk of something going very wrong. www.typeinvestigations.org/investigatio...

Trump’s renewed push to buy—or take—Greenland is no joke. As Arctic tensions rise, this investigation looks at MAGA-era expansionism, rare earths, military power, and what’s really at stake. @adamfederman.bsky.social reported with @typeinvestigations.org in 2025

In part because of its size, remoteness and low population density, Greenland has also become an object of desire for some of the Silicon Valley power brokers interested in establishing a kind of libertarian playground outside of the United States. www.typeinvestigations.org/investigatio...

As we wrap up year one of Trump’s second administration, we invited @adamfederman.bsky.social, @tanvi.bsky.social, and @kathrynajoyce.bsky.social back to the Backstory to talk about how the year has gone and how they think things will develop going forward. open.spotify.com/episode/2UOo...

Experts expect the recent cuts to Medicaid to lead to a surge in the number of uninsured people across the country. “There is no doubt in my mind that we are increasing the market for [boarding] homes." www.typeinvestigations.org/investigatio...

Type Investigations is hiring a Senior Editor for our Springboard Project! $85,000 to $100,000 per year, commensurate with experience. Details here: www.typeinvestigations.org/about/jobs/

The basic disconnect between what boarding homes can legally provide and what many of their residents require should preclude their ability to take in residents with significant needs. But in practice, it does not. www.typeinvestigations.org/investigatio...

“When I realized I wasn’t going to be allowed to leave, I slid onto the floor, thinking they would have to call an ambulance to help me up, They didn’t.” From @inthesetimes.com, a frightening vision of the future of long-term care in America:

We're thrilled to also have this @inthesetimes.com and @typeinvestigations.org investigation, reported by @ottavias.bsky.social, published @texasobserver.org. www.texasobserver.org/nowhere-to-g...

Between 2020 and 2025, first responders found at least 100 vulnerable people without proper care, including food and medication, in Texas boarding homes. Many had to be hospitalized; some died. 1/ www.typeinvestigations.org/investigatio...

@inthesetimes.com released a major investigation today w/ @typeinvestigations.org into horrifying “boarding homes” in Texas. Abuse. Neglect. Fraud. Death. A warning for the U.S. as Trump eyes cuts to Medicare. By Ottavia Spaggiari w/eds @kathrynajoyce.bsky.social inthesetimes.com/article/texa...

Combing through local news coverage, @inthesetimes.com and @typeinvestigations.org found that, between 2020 and 2025, first responders found 100+ vulnerable people without proper care, including food & medication, in TX boarding homes. Many had to be hospitalized; some died.

A new @inthesetimes.com investigation by @ottavias.bsky.social w/ @typeinvestigations.org uncovers Texas “boarding homes” where disabled & elderly people face neglect, abuse & exploitation. As the US faces the largest healthcare cuts in its history, Texas' disastrous system is a warning for us all.

“When I realized I wasn’t going to be allowed to leave, I slid onto the floor, thinking they would have to call an ambulance to help me up. They didn’t.” Major new investigation, years in the making, by @ottavias.bsky.social and produced in partnership by @inthesetimes.com & @typeinvestigations.org.

In a months-long investigation, @southsideweekly.bsky.social and Type Investigations found that immigrants seeking a legal path to residency or citizenship must navigate a confusing landscape of immigration services providers. www.typeinvestigations.org/investigatio...

Hundreds of people across the country claim to have fallen victim to immigration services fraud since 2020, allegedly losing at least $800,000 in the process, according to complaints and police reports from 14 states. 1/ www.typeinvestigations.org/investigatio...

This isn’t just about individual scams but also about a system so confusing and inaccessible that people feel they have no choice but to trust anyone promising a path forward. And reporting fraud is just as complicated.

A new investigation I reported w/ Max Blaisdell shows how immigrants seeking legal help are being targeted by scams. During a time when people are desperate for work permits, green cards, or asylum, notarios & impostors can exploit that fear. Via @southsideweekly.bsky.social @typeinvestigations.org

In Illinois, immigrants have lost thousands of dollars to notarios offering legal assistance they’re not qualified to provide—as well as other impostors. Nationally, the figure is at least $1.2 million. with @southsideweekly.bsky.social: www.typeinvestigations.org/investigatio...

In one shocking case, a pair of fraudsters in Chicago and Melrose Park were named in complaints with the Illinois Attorney General alleging they defrauded clients of more than $100,000 between 2022-23 alone. @ilattygeneral.bsky.social didn’t answer our questions about the status of those complaints.

A months-long investigation by @almacampos.bsky.social and Max Blaisdell examined how immigrants who are trying to follow a legal path to residency can be defrauded by unscrupulous “notarios.” With @typeinvestigations.org

Yesterday, @thenation.com ran my unprecedented investigation revealing a major U.S. landlord's links to West Bank settlements and the IDF. To see how American Landmark's U.S. tenants are being victimized, let's look at AL's properties in Charlotte, NC. (1/10) www.thenation.com/article/soci...

"In August, I contacted the UN Human Rights Office to ask about the implications of a circumstance like this, in which a company they flagged for involvement in Israeli settlements has a large US subsidiary profiting off tenants like Kelly." Stunning new investigation from @thomasbirm.bsky.social

One of America’s largest landlords is owned by a multinational conglomerate operating in illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The Israeli company, Electra, touted their American real estate subsidiary as a “big winning card.” 1/ www.typeinvestigations.org/investigatio...

“Before they came, rent was manageable. I was never late. When they took over, it became out of reach.” www.typeinvestigations.org/investigatio... By @thomasbirm.bsky.social. Via @thenation.com @typeinvestigations.org #housing+ #urbanism+ #urbanism

Today's must-read by @thomasbirm.bsky.social: a major corporate landlord is fueling homelessness across the U.S. *and* the mass displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank. The Israeli company owns tens of thousands of apartments in the South, filing evictions at nine times the national average.

We have a stunning story from @thomasbirm.bsky.social in @thenation.com. It's about how one of Israel's biggest companies, with deep ties to the IDF and illegal settlements, is taking over huge swathes of US real estate—with tenants paying the price. A MUST-read. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
