A camera spied on women at John Hancock. Six years later, no one has been held accountable In 2019, John Hancock announced it had found a camera hidden in the women's locker room. But six years and one lawsuit later, former employees told WBUR they feel those at the top may have been more i...

Women I spoke to said they assumed that Hancock would do the right thing and find the person who placed the hidden camera in a locker room. But now they say those at the top seem to have been more interested in protecting the company than finding the perpetrator.

ICE holding immigrants in 'abysmal' conditions at Burlington office building, lawyers say ICE is detaining immigrants in a Burlington office park building that wasn't designed as a holding facility. Lawyers say conditions there are "abysmal" and "unsanitary."

The ICE facility in a Burlington office park was never supposed to be a detention center. But it's where many people have been kept for days or weeks in "abysmal" conditions after being arrested by ICE. Great reporting by @miriamwasser.bsky.social
