Four portraits of Minnesota residents inside and outside their homes. From left to right: A woman in a hijab, an older woman wearing a red whistle, an elderly couple in winter coats standing in the snow, and a woman wearing a buttoned-up cardigan and dark blue jeans.
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 Alexandria airport is a key node in the administration's mass deportation system.
Here's my investigation into its unique runway detention center from last year:
New: The Trump admin is on the brink of creating a 'first of its kind' short term facility at the Alexandria airport in central Louisiana to hold unaccompanied minors & families before deportation.
Advocates say it will be a detention center in all but name.
NEW: Over the past year, we've been collecting thousands of financial disclosure documents from across the Trump administration. Now we're making them searchable. Look up names, assets, former employers across 1,500+ Trump appointees and 3,000+ ethics documents.
It was such a pleasure to interview attorney Bryan Stevenson about the photography of Gordon Parks as he curates a new showing in London.
His vivid and intimate colour images from 1956, showing the daily disgrace of the segregated South, remain extremely pertinent to this day:
NEW: I and colleagues reviewed 15,000 documents to illuminate how Jeffrey Epstein used VIP doctors to control and manipulate young women* — and how the doctors helped him, treating his needs as more important than the patients'. Gift link.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

Here's a video about my recent investigation into more than two dozen accounts using AI-generated doctors and health professionals to push dubious advice and sell products on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube: indicator.media/p/ai-generat...
This is 18-mo-old Amalia waving to me when she was detained.
She was hospitalized with a respiratory infection while at ICE’s Dilley facility for immigrant families.
She’s one of dozens of detainees who I spoke to via video and phone calls, letters and an in-person visit. 🧵1/
Please take the time to read what the children detained in Dilley wrote me in their own words: www.propublica.org/article/ice-... 10/

As the crisis in Minneapolis unfolded and we saw the feds thwart local efforts to independently investigate the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens, it was hard not to think about the Mexican man killed by ICE agents a few miles from my house in Chicago.

NEW: Tennessee’s speaker of the House took steps that allowed the owners of a payday lending company, Advance Financial, to keep using their stores to boost a now-defunct online sports betting enterprise.

Some shocking, and revealing, quotes in this piece:
"Mothers of 3 can be terrorists as well."
"Well she chose to be in that place."
Critical and important reporting from @oliverlaughland.bsky.social + @tomsilverstone.bsky.social on the streets of Minnesota. Well worth a watch:
Our latest episode of Anywhere but Washington is from Minneapolis.
We observed ICE’s racial profiling during traffic stops in the suburbs, embedded with neighborhood watch groups, spoke to folks at a GOP gubernatorial forum, and spent time with Somali-American community leaders:
A man's suit lapel with two pins on it. One is the DOJ seal, the other is in the shape of a thumbs-up and says "Trump" on it.
A billionaire known as “Bitcoin Jesus” was under indictment for massive criminal tax fraud and very likely going to prison.
Then, he hired a “Friend of Trump” and the criminal charges disappeared.
How did they do it? Avi Asher-Schapiro and I spent months getting the inside story.
NEW from @lisalsong.bsky.social and me:
The Trump administration is now asking USDA workers to check the backgrounds of foreign nationals collaborating with the department’s scientists for evidence of “subversive or criminal activity.”

All eyes are on Minnesota right now, but I want to tell you about Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-YO citizen in Houston who was choked by immigration agents in October

Targeting by the FDA. Toothpaste investigations. Medicaid changes that threaten to limit access.
Even as critics of water fluoridation point to other sources of fluoride as an alternative — usually in the name of individual choice — many are creating barriers to these same products.
