So proud of this work - including our reporting on the Venezuelans deported to a maximum security prison in El Salvador

Response to reporting by my colleagues @lisalsong.bsky.social and Maya Miller www.propublica.org/article/lawm...

A new episode of "Paper Trail" is LIVE — this one is the backstory of @ctmirror.org's Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation into a towing industry scandal with an assist from @propublica.org's Local Reporting Network. I attempt a joke at the top. Be nice about it: www.propublica.org/podcast/conn...

Delighted and shocked to learn last night that we won a National Magazine Award for some of our immigration reporting - including our story on how the Venezuelan men Trump sent to a Salvadoran prison were tortured, and on the dramatic midnight raid in Chicago. 😃 www.propublica.org/atpropublica...

A new report used census data to estimate that more than 100,00 U.S. citizen kids had an immigrant parent detained since Trump took office in January. Brookings’ analysis cites reporting from ProPublica on detentions, which can lead to family separation www.propublica.org/article/trum...

NEW: @ProPublica has launched a podcast, hosted by @jlussenhop.bsky.social! Give the trailer a listen, send to your families and friends, warn the enemies of the good and the true, like and subscribe. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

These weapons are toxic, especially to children, who breathe more rapidly, pulling in more contaminated air than adults relative to their body weight. --> my latest, with @mayatmiller.bsky.social @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social @mariamelba.bsky.social

🎥 WATCH: ProPublica and FRONTLINE investigate the violence, protests and arrests stemming from the federal immigration sweeps across the country. "Caught in the Crackdown" premiered Tuesday, April 14 at 10 p.m. EDT/9 p.m. CDT on PBS and online. propub.li/4t9gZkF

So proud that our colleagues and partners work was nominated for two 2026 News and Documentary Emmy Awards including a film version of our reporting on Venezuelans sent by the US to be imprisoned in El Salvador last year www.propublica.org/awards/news-...

Following reporting by ProPublica and others, multiple celebrities have signed an open letter demanding that the Dilley family detention center be shut down. “No child should be locked in an immigration detention center,” the letter begins. 1/ variety.com/2026/film/ne...

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...

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: This week, the average daily population at Dilley dropped to 100 people, compared with over 900 in January. The shift follows weeks of mounting public pressure generated in part by the widespread publication of letters written by detained children. www.propublica.org/article/fami...

NEW: The Dilley family detention facility disabled video calls on tablets after detainees’ call recordings were shared on social media, according to a document viewed by ProPublica. 1/

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...

So honored by this recognition of our reporting -- that was a real team effort -- about kids in family immigration detention.

It was in this trove of documents that Avi Asher-Schapiro and Jeff Ernsthausen and I found how Tom Homan grew his net worth before returning to government and helped reveal his and a senior advisor's connections to companies vying for DHS contracts www.propublica.org/article/tom-... ...

ICYMI my colleagues @perla-trevizo.bsky.social and @g-dvalle.bsky.social in this video broke down the unprecedented immigration moves by the Trump administration in its first year www.propublica.org/article/trum...

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/

Christian wanted people to know what immigrant families like hers were going through inside the Dilley detention center, so she gathered dozens of letters and hid them in her jacket. She and others told me and @mckenziefunk.com its becoming harder to speak out www.propublica.org/article/dill...

I met Maria Antonia inside Dilley in mid-Jan where she had been detained for four months. She told me she was on her way to Disney World when immigration agents intercepted and interrogated her in the airport and sent her and her mom to detention www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

📽️ WATCH: We went inside the immigrant family detention center in Dilley, Texas. Listen to what kids told reporter @micarosenberg.bsky.social about their life in detention — and the things they’ve lost and left behind. Read more: https://propub.li/4toqME6

Letters from some of the children I spoke to at the Dilley family detention centers being read in Congress

This is 18-mo-old Amalia waving to me when she was detained. She was hospitalized with a respiratory infection while at ICE’s Dilley facility for immigrant families. She’s one of dozens of detainees who I spoke to via video and phone calls, letters and an in-person visit. 🧵1/

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’ve been in Minneapolis the last few days reporting on the ICE raids happening across the city. This morning federal agents shot and killed a man, identified by the AP as Alex Pretti. This marks the third shooting by federal agents since Operation Metro Surge started in Minnesota last month.

A new directive asks USDA workers to check backgrounds of foreign nationals collaborating with the department’s scientists. Their names are being sent to security experts. One critic called it a “throwback to McCarthyism. By my @propublica.org colleagues www.propublica.org/article/trum...

NEW: @propublica.org found 40+ cases of agents using banned chokeholds & other moves that can cut off breathing “I felt like I was going to die” said a 16-yr-old citizen. @nicolefoy.bsky.social & @mckenziefunk.com report www.propublica.org/article/vide...

Welcome to Albany, Georgia, where one hospital dominates the political and economic landscape. The story of Phoebe Putney Memorial is the story of American health care. By @gingerthompson.bsky.social, with research by Doris Burke

NEW: Today we published a new investigation into something happening largely out of view: immigrant kids getting separated from their families and placed in federal shelters, in some cases after something as mundane as a traffic stop🧵 1/ www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends. It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants. We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

In the first half of this year, the income of President Trump's family business soared 17-fold to $864 million, based almost entirely on new crypto ventures that have been a magnet for overseas cash, a Reuters investigation found. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Columbia Journalism Investigations/Documented found a pattern in this striking investigation by Jazzmin Jiwa and Carla Mandiola that found tens of thousands of migrants who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border last year came from places repeatedly hit by climate disasters documentedny.com/2025/10/22/c...
