I wrote a (long) thing! I must also credit the LA Reporting Collective conversations that really informed a lot of this, especially @papayathemariah.bsky.social at @lapublicpress.bsky.social, @adamrose.bsky.social of @freedom.press, and photojournalist Zaydee Sanchez. And my work at @fi2w.org!

This @nytimes.com piece focuses on how adoptees are getting caught up in immigration enforcement in the U.S. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/u...

Great reporting from @documentedny.bsky.social on a hidden child care crisis among immigrant street vendors in NYC: documentedny.com/2026/03/18/n...

In her first solo reporting project, Narimes Parakul digs into the phenomenon of ALPR cameras in her hometown of Portland, Oregon.

"Any one of those cameras...could be capturing his truck’s license plate every time he drives past, silently recording his routine movements." Today, a new story from @fi2w.org:

There are still a few open spots in the @fi2w.org winter workshop on Fundamentals of Writing for Audio, hosted by Fi2W Managing Editor @quincetessence.bsky.social. This is a great one-day class on how to develop audio story scripts by weaving together written narration and audio recordings.

Post-Bad Bunny concert, it's a great time to listen to La Brega, a beautiful bilingual narrative podcast about the people of Puerto Rico. This is truly one of my favorite podcasts, and season 3 just dropped: futurostudios.org/podcasts/la-...

"Were Northerners prepared to watch their neighbors, many of whom had lived in their communities for years, be violently removed from their homes or grabbed off the streets? For many, the answer was no." —@jelaniya.bsky.social www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Join @fi2w.org for our virtual winter workshops and learn from @quincetessence.bsky.social and me about interviewing for audio and writing for audio! ⬇️ applications are due Feb. 9th ⬇️

Three shootings by ICE and other federal immigration agents have taken place in Minneapolis this January, including the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. You can find all of our reporting in one place here:

Like many of you, Minnesota is on my mind. At @fi2w.org, we are still processing the murders of Renée Good and Alex Pretti — and the terror that ICE continues to unleash on immigrant communities.

"The flimsy politics of citizenship might seem like the detail that distinguishes Liam's story from the stories of our own kids," writes @inaeoh.bsky.social. "But his innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable. We know this child: his goodness, his superheroes, his winter hat."

"I feel the vitality of the people while riding the bus." —Camilo José Vergara for @urbanomnibus.bsky.social: urbanomnibus.net/2024/10/bus-...

"What we are inside of is not only a media environment but a political economy: death created by the state, its footage circulated on platforms, monetized through attention, and metabolized by viewers." —Sarah Thankam Mathews on the murder of Renee Good smathewss.substack.com/p/snuff-film...

"As many crises unfold in the U.S. and around the globe, what would it mean to organize our world like we organize kimchi: not from a place of scarcity, but from shared abundance?" I wrote about the parallels of kimchi-making and journalism for @fi2w.org: www.fi2w.org/a-letter-fro...

You've probably heard of folks mobilizing during immigration raids when ICE comes to your neighborhood, but what does that sound like?

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

20 years ago, Arun Venugopal was one of the first Feet in 2 Worlds fellows — and reported a segment for "Immigrants in a Global City," the WNYC documentary that launched our organization.

“Before the war, when I heard the rain, I used to lie in bed feeling warm & happy. Now, when it rains, I jump up to check the tent, to make sure the water isn’t coming in.” With their homes reduced to rubble, many Palestinians in Gaza prepare for another difficult winter, Esraa Abo Qamar reports.

What a loss for all of us that Conde Nast decided to axe its most relevant publication @teenvogue.com — and how ugly to fire union organizers standing up for their laid off colleagues.

Fi2W doesn’t just publish stories; we build the infrastructure immigrant journalists need to thrive. We mentor journalists to report from within their own communities and grow into newsroom leaders. Fi2W alumna @maritzafelix.bsky.social, who founded @conectaarizona.bsky.social, shares her story.

This weekend was my annual 25-mile bike ride fundraiser for @fi2w.org! 🚲 Immigrants and journalism are under attack, and the mission of Feet in 2 Worlds — to support immigrant journalists and invest in their careers — is more vital than ever.

Halloween sticker alert for #earlyvoting today in NYC! 🎃👻

Two New Yorkers died in the flooding last night. Last year, @fi2w.org reported on the dangers of basement apartments — many people who live in them are immigrant New Yorkers whom the city has largely failed to protect. www.fi2w.org/rising-flood...

BIG KOREAN ENERGY was a joy to work on! 💓 We're experiencing a cultural moment where everything K is extremely popular (exhibit A: K-Pop Demon Hunters). In this episode, Joanne Lee Molinaro (the Korean Vegan) joins to unpack what BKE means for Korean Americans.

Trump claims ICE agents are in constant danger. The data tells another story. Records show that none of ICE’s agents have ever been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s more than two-decade history. Instead, the leading cause of death by far among ICE officers is COVID-19.

Every weekday on Broadway, undocumented immigrants line up to enter 26 Federal Plaza. They enter harshly lit hallways where ICE agents mill around — waiting to take people away. For our cover story, Stephanie Keith captures the anguished scenes of arrest in downtown Manhattan. buff.ly/N6JNPUP.

Are you curious about @fi2w.org? Join us on Wednesday 10/22 for an @airmedia.bsky.social edia.bsky.social panel featuring three of our former fellows: Ignazio Monda, Paulina Velasco, and Lushik Lotus-Lee.

Writing for audio is a distinct skill — it takes a sharp ear, a sense of rhythm, and lots of practice. If you're looking to build or sharpen that skill, consider signing up for a virtual workshop with Feet in 2 Worlds later this month.

We at the Institute for Nonprofit News support the release of Emmy-winning journalist Mario Guevara, who has been detained for more than 100 days for livestreaming law enforcement. #FreeMario freedomformario.com

California has recently relocated beavers from spots where they were causing problems, like flooding, to tribal lands in Northern and Southern California. Experts caution that while beavers can help with fire resilience and improve water quality, they are only part of broader solutions.

Why does this office look like a Wes Anderson set in the worst possible way.

I learned how to be a strong interviewer in the years I spent as a facilitator for StoryCorps. A few takeaways: stop interrupting and allow for silence. Ask (plenty of) follow-up questions. Edit in your head as you listen.

The past year underscored the urgency of @fi2w.org's work. As immigrants in the U.S. face escalating political attacks and disinformation campaigns, the news industry itself is undergoing profound change.

🚇 Immigrant workers risked their lives cleaning NYC subways during the height of COVID. Now, after years of underpayment + exploitation, they’ve won a $3M settlement. A story of sacrifice, survival, and overdue justice. a 🧵1/7

ICE has stopped reporting number of transgender people in custody, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports. Advocates say the lack of data hampers efforts to ensure people’s safety as the Trump administration ramps up immigration detentions.

What economic challenges are immigrants facing right now? And what solutions are immigrant communities proposing or enacting?

Ms. Rachel has a message for children in Gaza and around the world.

We're especially interested in an inclusive understanding of economy. Beyond stock and inflation numbers, what are the specific ways we distribute goods and services — formally and informally — for the needs of our communities? How do immigrants provide those for themselves and others in the US?

Where is mainstream media missing the mark when it comes to immigration and the economy? At @fi2w.org, we're looking for our next reporting fellow to cover the intersection of these issues with curiosity, tenacity, and creativity. Applications due Friday, August 29th.

In the last episode of The Hustle's season, host Shaka Tafari speaks with three women who work at the intersection of labor and immigration. They discuss the most pressing threats to immigrant workers, as well as the ways immigrants can resist these threats and support one another.

This week's ep of The Hustle from @fi2w.org is a historical deep dive into the immigrant communities that populated the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago — and how they collectively shaped the city around them. As Sophia Ramirez writes, "The labor movement binds immigrants together."
