The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis. My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives? So I picked up my camera 👇

NEW: After we documented children crawling through trains to get to school, the mayor of Hammond, Indiana, said train company Norfolk Southern pledged to help fund an overpass. Now the project is dead after the company reneged, he says. Norfolk Southern denies making a commitment.

O'HARE (Chicago): "There are dozens of ICE agents at TSA checkpoint, almost all of them doing the jobs of the TSA agents. They are the ones checking IDs and passports and verifying flight info, while TSA agents stand there and do nothing."

NEW: This Louisiana prosecutor... • Was forced to resign from the DA’s office for submitting false paperwork. • Withheld evidence in at least 3 death row cases. • Compared a Black teen to a dog & told the jury to “get rid of it.” Now he’s running for judge. With @veritenews.org

lol

justice alito talmbout it "seriously undermines" voter confidence when a "big stash" of mail ballots arrives and changes the "apparent outcome" sir do you mean when all the votes are counted? bc it sounds like you're just describing when all the votes are counted

We're doing some really fun stuff with @svelte.dev over here at @propublica.org. Our recent Trump Administration financial disclosures and FDA generic drug databases are built on SvelteKit and DuckDB.

ICE officers getting paid for standing around doing nothing while TSA employees work without pay is a pretty succinct summation of where we're at right now

The Supreme Court refuses to review an odious 5th Circuit decision granting qualified immunity to Texas officials who arrested a citizens-journalist in retaliation against her posing questions to public officials. Sotomayor has an appropriately furious dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

NEW: The Trump administraiton has lost more than 7,000 immigration detention cases in recent months. Increasingly, DOJ is telling judges they have no argument to present or couldn't get facts from ICE to present in court. A look at this emerging trend. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Bari Weiss Claims Ideological Diversity Begins And Ends With Her

You have to dig through a bunch of links to find out what she was accused of, and it will surprise nobody: most of the complaints were that she ruled in favor of criminal defendants and against prosecutors. apps.legislature.ky.gov/CommitteeDoc...

This really sucks

The Trump administration's demands go against the ethos of "keep your federal hands off Idaho," former Idaho Secretary of State Ben Ysursa said. I teamed up on this story with @jenafifield.bsky.social and @zachdespart.bsky.social who are tracking the DOJ's efforts. www.propublica.org/article/idah...

The VA lost about 700 social workers and 500 psychologists and psychiatrists over the course of 2025 — a significant change for an agency that was adding mental health staffers nearly every month leading up to Trump’s return to office. Read more: https://propub.li/4rBUJOV

The NBC News story about Corey Lewandowski is very important. The GEO Group-related claims are astounding, and later reporting in the story suggests that those allegations were not some one-time thing. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

“Some DHS contractors told White House officials they were asked to pay Corey Lewandowski: Some companies complained to the Trump administration that Lewandowski has stood to personally profit from the DHS contracting process. Lewandowski denies the allegations.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Hmm...should I?

Wow this investigation identifies 5 federal agents who "engaged in a pattern of force and questionable detention, aggressive tactics that courts have said likely violated the constitution, as they moved from Bakersfield to Los Angeles, and then Chicago and Minneapolis" calmatters.org/investigatio...

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...

These Pernicious Gambling Apps Will Embed Themselves Deeper and Deeper Into Public Life, Disintegrating Social Trust In Unpredictable and Dangerous Ways vs. No It Won't

The U.S. keeps charging border crossers with trespassing on a military base with no evidence they've done so, and in many cases are insisting they want to fully prosecute the misdemeanor. Judges....are not so happy about it. www.propublica.org/article/immi...

"Nearly 10% of roughly 1,600 residential buildings that have opened since 2016 have at least one housing code violation per apartment...each building included in the review had received a property tax abatement through the state’s 421a program"

Lots of new campaign filings coming out in California with tech billionaires spending big. One new filing I hadn't seen reported on yet was Google's Eric Schmidt donating more than $1M to a committee combating the proposed billionaire tax www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

it is very funny to imagine there is some sort of central boycott that a single person could end (unless that person is the CEO of target and by "end" you mean "completely changes course from its capitulation to the Trump administration and begs people to return")

An ongoing US military investigation has determined that the US is responsible for the Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian elementary school because of a targeting mistake. It’s likely to go down as one of the most devastating single military errors in recent decades.

NEW: DHS is requesting access to the government’s “most powerful people-finder system,” which contains the name, address, Social Security number, employer, and salary or wages of every employed person in the country — as well as sensitive information on children and domestic violence victims.

“For the sake of journalistic objectivity, I ordered exactly what Manz said he had: one carne asada taco, one pollo asado and one adobada pork.” gothamist.com/food/theres-...

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened

Apply now! Like, later today! If you're interested.

Look at these charts. TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help. The timing coincides with the Trump administration’s dismantling of the CFPB. www.propublica.org/article/cred... @joeljacobs.bsky.social
