"Nearly two dozen were held in custody for more than 20 days...Teens who were detained alone were sent to Christian youth shelters in Michigan, which made it hard for their families to find them. And nearly half of the children detained have since left the country." sahanjournal.com/immigration/...
I did not want to be cured
NEW: “We see, just, use of excessive force after use of excess force,” said Christy Lopez, who spent years investigating law enforcement misconduct at the DOJ. “In no scenario is it OK to be pepper-spraying people as you're leaving the scene.”

"Our reporting uncovered previously undisclosed aspects of a federal effort to safeguard the results of the 2020 vote, which involved at least 75 people across several agencies. Today, nearly all of those people are gone" www.propublica.org/article/trum...
Thank you to everyone who supported us on our 1-day strike yesterday! Our picket is now over and supporters can return to reading ProPublica stories. Sign our petition to stay up-to-date on our campaign: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...
Happy to be back at my desk (like, for real, I love my job) but we still need a contract! Help us out, click the link below:
New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more.
They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom.

It’s not that complicated. Ethical journalism depends on ethical protections.
I hate that contract negotiations are not going better, but this is where we are. Today my colleagues and I @propublica.org are walking out. We need management to come to the table with more serious contract proposals that address our real concerns about discipline, job protections and fair wages.
Surprised that ProPublica is on strike? SO ARE WE! The contract we're being offered is NOT in line with the values of the place we love. For me, this is about job protections and AI protections for future generations of journalists. Read more about how we got here: www.propublicaguild.org
Good morning! All day today my colleagues and I will be on STRIKE. You can help us send a message! Please do not visit ProPublica's website and tell management to give us a fair contract so we can get back to work: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...
This looks kewl
"As we got back into our rental SUV, Perla and I wondered: If we, as reporters who investigate things for a living, couldn’t get a straight answer on where these military zones were, how did the government expect people crossing the border to do better?"

"Footage conflicts in several ways with the encounter initially described by federal officials, who said the ICE agent fired his weapon after three residents attacked him with a shovel and broom for several minutes. A shovel was tossed aside before the struggle began" www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/u...
"The agency also closed over 100 health care fraud cases as a result of 'prioritization of resources and interests' even though the Trump administration has said it is making this area of enforcement a priority."
"The DOJ declined more than 1,300 cases involving terrorism and national security, nearly twice what was typical at the start of the most recent new administrations... just over 300 cases involving charges of providing material support to foreign terrorist organizations were also dropped."
"Trump has spoken frequently about the 'scourge' of drugs coming into the country. At the same time, the [DOJ] has declined to prosecute nearly 5,000 cases of federal drug law violations, including trafficking and money laundering. The number of declinations were 45% higher than the average"
The Trump administration "has pursued fewer prosecutions of nearly every other type of crime — from drug offenses to corruption — than new administrations in their first six months dating back to 2009."

I often share ProPublica work by picking one quote that stood out to me. But I can't narrow it down with this jaw-dropping piece by @kbmorales.bsky.social and @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social so, uh, 🧵I guess: www.propublica.org/article/trum...
“State prosecutors across the country are going to be watching what happens in Minnesota really closely” www.propublica.org/article/minn...
Who deserves justice and who deserves mercy under this administration? My colleague @jeremykohler.bsky.social has a disturbing case study: www.propublica.org/article/jose...
"'There is something particularly craven about transferring a nursing refugee mother out-of-state,' U.S. District Judge Michael J. Davis wrote in a particularly sharp rebuke ordering Lah’s release." Another tough but important story by the Strib's Susan Du www.startribune.com/how-ice-deta...
"...money for body cameras for immigration enforcement officers — but no requirement that they be worn." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...
@propublica.org is still tracking U.S. citizens who are detained by immigration agents. Do you have info about how immigration agents are treating U.S. citizens and children during enforcement operations? Send tips: nicole.foy@propublica.org or Signal nicolefoy.27 www.propublica.org/article/amer...
Just had this thought: as a reporter, you lose a lot of sleep wondering if you're wrong about something. As an investigative reporter, if you're doing the job correctly, you lose a lot of sleep wondering if you're right.
Just because Dilley is emptying of families and children, don't think for a second that that is the end of the impact of this administration's immigration enforcement on kids
Journalism at work: "...they were unable to explain the reason for the sharp decline. However, they said the shift followed weeks of mounting public pressure generated in part by the widespread publication of letters written by several of the detained children" www.propublica.org/article/fami...

Sadly I was just reporting the facts of my Sunday scaries. Which comic?
The kind of anxiety I have is: I just got worried that I’m not worrying enough
