Image of a ProPublica headline that reads "They Needed Treatment for Drug Addiction. The Company They Turned to May Have Used Them to Commit Fraud." The headline is illustrated with a pair of hands holding a miniature rehab center. One hand is dropping a small human through the top of the building. From the bottom of the building, a $100 bill emerges.

NEW: Kentucky’s largest drug rehab center touts a Christian message and a selfless commitment to helping others.

But internally, the organization prioritized money over the well-being of its clients and staff, interviews show.

A ProPublica worker high fives a giant inflatable rat nicknamed Scabby. Resting on the belly of Scabby is a sign that says: ProPublica workers on strike for a fair contract.

Today, you helped us show @propublica.org management that, without us, there is no ProPublica. And we’re not stopping this fight until we get the contract we deserve.

I love my job. I believe in ProPublica's mission. I have so much work to do today on a story that should publish soon.

But today, I'm on strike with my colleagues at the @propublicaguild.org. Hoping we get over the finish line SOON on our very first contract -- and a fair one.

Today, I and the rest of the @propublicaguild.org are on strike. Why? Because we deserve a fair contract - one that locks in just cause, AI protections, and fair wages for all union members.

I love working at @propublica.org. I'm on strike for the day because I want it to be a better place to work, for everyone. Please support our fight for a fair contract.

NEW: After ICE came to Minneapolis, ProPublica journalist @peterdicampo.bsky.social saw his community step up to patrol the streets, drive strangers to work and provide aid to families in hiding.

These are his neighbors, in their city, in their own words.

Trump Called My Neighbors “Paid Agitators.” This is Who They Really Are. After ICE came to Minneapolis, ProPublica journalist Peter DiCampo saw his community step up to patrol the streets, drive strangers to work and provide aid to families in hiding. These are his neighbo...

Each of the people I photographed scoffed at the idea that they were paid agitators, or led in their efforts by state or city officials.

Here’s my full story about my neighbors, in their city, in their own words.

A woman, wearing a black hijab, stands in a brightly lit home. Behind her are neatly stacked books and family photos on a shelf. Text on the image reads: “People are still putting themselves out there. And it’s for the sake of humanity, and our community, and showing the rest of the U.S. and the world that this is what it means to be Minnesotan.” - Nasrieen Habib

Nasrieen Habib founded Amanah Recreational Project, an organization that promotes outdoor activities for Muslim women. She redirected her organization to provide food and rent assistance because, she said, “this is what it means to be Minnesotan.”

A woman sits in a dark room, looking with sadness at the camera, wearing a red floral print dress. Text on the image reads: “I call [my friends] and I say: ‘Please think positive. This is going away very soon.’ And they say, ‘OK, thank you for staying positive.’ And then I turn off the phone, and I start crying.” - Jianeth Riera Lazo

Jianeth Riera Lazo, a chef at a Minneapolis cafe, helps connect friends and family with food and rental assistance. But she confided: “I call [my friends] and I say: ‘Please think positive. This is going away very soon.’ … And then I turn off the phone, and I start crying.”

A man stands in his living room, a framed photo of a young girl in the background. He wears a sweatshirt that says “perpetual grind” and holds a Star Wars Stormtrooper mug. Text on the image reads: “Legal immigration, illegal immigration? That’s not my call. That’s not my fight. By the time you’re my neighbor, you’re my neighbor.” - Norman Alston

Norman Alston, a high school wrestling coach who watches for ICE outside the school, said this is not political for him: “Legal immigration, illegal immigration? That’s not my call… By the time you’re my neighbor, you’re my neighbor."

A woman stands with her hands in her pockets in the living room of her home. Next to her is a small red chair for a child. Behind her are family photos on the wall. Text reads: “It just seems so simple. My neighbors need help. And I would hope that if I was in a situation where I needed help, or if I was as scared as these people are, that somebody would help me.” - Elizabeth Anderson

Elizabeth Anderson works in performing arts. She also arranges for drivers to take kids to school and coordinates food delivery for 100+ families.

She didn’t think what she was doing was out of the ordinary. “It just seems so simple. My neighbors need help,” she said.

A man and woman stand together in a basement, looking at the camera. Around them are stacks of food, in cardboard boxes on the floor or on tables. Text on the image reads: “My parents are immigrants, and they moved here for a better life, but also to give us a better life. And we’re going to continue to support as many families as we can, especially kids.” - Adan Tepozteco Gavilan

Barber Adan Tepozteco Gavilan started a food drive with his sister, Anai, that has provided food to hundreds of families.

“We’re going to continue to support as many families as we can, especially kids,” he said.

A woman in a dark room looks at the camera. White text on the image reads: “I don’t want to be one of those people that sat. I don’t want to be somebody’s history lesson.” - Libby Blyth

Libby Blyth is an accountant driving people to work who are afraid of being spotted by ICE. She described them crouching fearfully in her backseat.

“I don’t want to be one of those people that sat,” she told me. “I don’t want to be somebody’s history lesson.

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 👇

The AMA is to be held in r/IAmA on Jan. 22 at 4 p.m. ET. The account answering questions is u/propublica_.

Secretary Marco Rubio claimed no one died as a result of cuts to USAID. That’s not what we found.

On Thurs., Jan. 22 at 4 p.m. ET, we’ll be on Reddit taking your questions about the continued fallout of slashing aid for some of the world’s most vulnerable communities.

A story that should shock our collective conscience: After Trump Cuts to Kenya Food Aid, Children Died of Starvation

After the U.S. failed to fund the World Food Program in Kenya, we went to the Kakuma refugee camp. This is what we found:

This summer, Brett Murphy, @peterdicampo.bsky.social and I went to South Sudan, where the U.S. had been supporting the response to a historic cholera outbreak in the world’s poorest country before pulling the plug.

We found shuttered clinics and dead bodies. www.propublica.org/article/usai...

No-brainer proposals met with strikethroughs. Great.

Psychiatric Hospitals Turn Away Patients Who Need Urgent Care. The Facilities Face Few Consequences. Discharging patients who are at risk of harming themselves or others is illegal. But dozens of psychiatric hospitals aren’t honoring the law — and the government isn’t following up.

EMTALA requires universal care for “emergency medical conditions” regardless of a person’s insurance status.

In the decades since its passage, some patients have died hours after failing to receive care they were legally entitled to.
