The government doesn’t track how many citizens are held by immigration agents. @nicolefoy.bsky.social @propublica.org found more than 170 cases this year where citizens were detained at raids and protests. www.propublica.org/article/immi...

“I don’t want to be here anymore… What am I supposed to do?” Trump wants them to self deport. They want to self deport. But many Venezuelans cannot leave … like this woman who told me she now plans to try to turn herself into ICE to get out of USA. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

More than a dozen immigration judge were just fired. Such firings have been common on Friday evenings and often involve newer judges still on probation. But today's firings include a Sacramento IJ who's been on the bench close to 20 years. "The judge version of Jimmy Kimmel," one source told me.

This past June, the Trump administration went one step further, suspending any enforcement of the new program’s rules until that litigation is resolved. The number of H-2A visas issued has increased every year since Sofi arrived.

Over the past few years, I’ve been fascinated with one of the largest federal investigations happening in Georgia, known as Operation Blooming Onion. So I partnered with Zaydee Sanchez to uncover the untold story of an unnamed victim at the heart of the case. 🧵

She wasn’t sure she could get him there in his condition, but she had to try. At one point, he dropped to the airport floor. “I can’t do it anymore,” he said. “You have to,” she told him. Gripping, intimate story by one of the best, @deldeib.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/ment...

It’s hard to say whether ruling applies nationwide or is limited to LA area. But there is little doubt that it will have the practical effect of further emboldening the administration’s uncompromising efforts to deport unauthorized immigrants around the country. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/u...

Come to @chihacknight.org to hear me and my pals @perla-trevizo.bsky.social and @micarosenberg.bsky.social talk about our reporting on the Venezuelan men Trump sent to a Salvadoran prison. Event is virtual on Sept. 23. chihacknight.org/events/2025/...

Photographer Adriana Loureiro Fernández spent months following the story of the Venezuelan men deported to prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration. She shares that experience today on @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/ceco...

The men were struggling to sleep or leave their homes. Wilmer broke into tears telling me that he had a panic attack the first time he walked down a busy commercial street. In many cases, the celebration was bittersweet. The men were home but they were scarred. www.propublica.org/article/ceco...

I love working at ProPublica. I would love it more if it could guarantee us just cause protections. Go union.

📽️ WATCH: Andry Omar Blanco Bonilla, one of the men Trump sent to CECOT, told our reporters he was beaten the moment the plane landed. He says when he regained consciousness and saw the polished concrete floor, the bright lights, the men in uniform, he just asked God: What am I doing here? Why?

"The terror that Naythan might be torn away consumed her thoughts. She could endure detention and deportation alongside her son. Without him, she believed grief alone might kill her." And w/ this story, @aurabogado.bsky.social brings up the level of immigration reporting in Chicago. Bienvenida.
