Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

More than 110 @propublicaguild employees have signed a pledge ready to strike, if necessary. We want to focus on doing great journalism and get this bargaining finalized after two long years of negotiations. I am in awe of the people power we showed across the country today with practice pickets.

Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end in sight. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Wearing WaPo Guild red to talk about the decimation of the Washington Post with @democracynow.org 💪🏾 @postguild.bsky.social

Proud to have signed this pledge alongside nearly 120 of my colleagues. Our work is so important, and we deserve a fair contract. Several of our top managers had similar protections as the ones we're fighting for -- back when they were union members in their prior newsrooms. We deserve the same!

The sign! 🤩 The solidarity! 😍

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... ✊

NEW: New training from a Texas regulator about when doctors can legally terminate a pregnancy comes nearly five years after the state passed its abortion ban in 2021. Experts contend the guidance can’t capture all complications that arise in pregnancy.

The new training from the Texas Medical Board comes nearly 5 years after the state passed its strict abortion ban in 2021. ProPublica’s reporting has shown that pregnancy became far more dangerous in the state after the law took effec www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Join us Thursday for a rally to #SaveThePost!! The rally will run from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday at 1301 K St. NW!! Bring friends! Bring gloves! Bring a love of journalism!

Thanks for your support. We hope management acknowledges we aren’t asking for unreasonable things in our contract. In fact, couple of our leaders had similar protections at the union newsrooms they worked at previously as up-and-coming reporters.

1/ Federal records show how a dramatic raid in Chicago was facilitated by a landlord who was apparently concerned about immigrants squatting in the building. The government claimed a Venezuelan gang had taken over the apt complex, but that’s not what docs say. 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/chic...

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.

We stand in solidarity with our unionized colleagues of @postguild.bsky.social as they call on Jeff Bezos and @washingtonpost.com management to halt the cuts that would drain their newsroom. #savethepost bsky.app/profile/post...

👏👏👏 Just donated. Thank you all for the incredible work you do, and so sorry you're dealing with management that does not understand that you ARE ProPublica.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

I’m disappointed that ProPublica management has forced its workers into this position. We are asking for basic job protections, AI guardrails to protect our great journalism and journalists, and to make sure our wages can keep up with inflation. Support us by following @propublicaguild.org

ProPublica has identified Alex Pretti’s killers www.propublica.org/article/alex...

3/ It is unclear which agent fired the initial shot, shortly before Pretti’s body went limp. They were reporting to Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino as part of “Operation Metro Surge.”

2/ DHS has said both agents involved in the altercation have been placed on leave. Neither Ochoa nor Gutierrez responded to multiple attempts for comment. DHS, DOJ and FBI did not respond to questions.

1/ BREAKING: Government documents reviewed by ProPublica identify Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa, 43, and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez, 35, as the two who fired their weapons during the deadly encounter with Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

The federal government still hasn’t identified the men who killed ICU veteran affairs nurse Alex Pretti. ProPublica reporter David McSwane just did the public service of investigating and learning their identities. More here: www.propublica.org/article/alex...

This incident alone would have triggered hearings and probably a senior-level resignation in another administration.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

From taunting journalists as “fake news” to now outright arresting them, the charges against Don Lemon signal that Donald Trump’s attacks on the press have reached a chilling new extreme. More in @status.news: www.status.news/p/don-lemon-...

More impact from my investigation with @shaw.al: Six senators accused Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche of a “glaring” conflict of interest, citing our reporting that found he held at least $159,000 in investments when he shut down crypto investigations. www.propublica.org/article/todd...

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

I was on @wbur.org's On Point today, discussing what I witnessed the past few days while reporting on ICE raids for @propublica.org in Minnesota www.wbur.org/onpoint/2026...

I don't believe in destiny. I don't believe hard work is rewarded. We don't live in a meritocracy. But I believe in inevitability as the result of a series of variables of which one has no control. Being pulled over by ICE is example of chilling inevitability.

His name is Jose Ralat and you can follow him at @tacotrail.bsky.social. No tacos for ICE!

Aging me like a raisin to see our leaders stall contract negotiations, but we are still hoping they’ll soon agree to our common sense proposals that protect jobs from AI, veteran journalists in layoffs & pay equity.

The package with ICE funding will be in the Senate this week and will need Democratic votes to advance.

As Homeland Security’s siege on Minneapolis enters its third week, locals are volunteering for patrol shifts, protesting in the streets, and keeping one another up to date in group texts. Read more from @scottmeslow.bsky.social in Minneapolis:

What worries me with ice is that the public has no way of knowing if they are really ice. They have unmarked vehicles, wear masks, show no warrants or legal paperwork, no identification, and appear very unprofessional and violent. Anyone could be impersonating ice to terrorize our communities.

An FBI agent conducted an initial review of the Renee Good killing and determined sufficient grounds existed to open a civil rights probe into the actions of the ICE officer who shot her. Justice Department says no inquiry is warranted. @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.
