"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/...
These agents "don't know how to operate in these situations,” said former DOJ attorney Christy Lopez.
Their behavior “is on par with the worst protest policing and just law enforcement that I've seen from any department, even in their worst days."

Yesterday, our members in New York, D.C., Chicago and across the country walked out to demand a fair contract.
We deserve job security. We deserve to know AI won’t be used to replace us. We know that @propublica.org can and must do better.
“Outside ProPublica’s Washington bureau on Wednesday, a few blocks from the White House, about a dozen ProPublica staffers braved brisk spring temperatures to protest the protracted negotiations, which have lasted 28 months since the outlet first unionized in 2023.”
Journalists at ProPublica, one of the largest nonprofit newsrooms in the U.S., walked off the job on Wednesday after more than two years of negotiations that failed to yield a deal for a union contract. The core disagreements were over wage increases, layoff protections and the use of A.I.
A good time to say that when I worked at ProPublica, we did not have a fair & transparent disciplinary system.
I know because I got a negative performance review NOT written by my supervisor. The person who wrote it then avoided talking to me for months, isolating me w/ no real options.
Bad stuff!
NEW: Trump accepted $37m worth of donated steel for his WH ballroom project from the Luxembourg-based company ArcelorMittal.
Days later, the WH made adjustments to Trump's tariffs that could benefit ArcelorMittal.
“We're not asking for the moon here, despite what management keeps trying to tell us.
We need a fair and transparent disciplinary system that we can trust so that we can keep speaking truth to power, whether in the Oval Office or inside our newsroom.”
— Jeff Ernsthausen, senior data reporter

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 👇
Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court.
DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses!
DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations."
DOJ blames ICE (page 2)
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."
Today, we wrote to @propublica.org’s board of directors to inform them that our unit overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike and urge them to instruct management to agree to a fair contract now.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside.
On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors.
She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.
ProPublica’s work has never been more important. We don’t want to strike, but we need a FAIR CONTRACT.
Today 92% of @propublicaguild.org’s voting members approved a strike, with 99% casting a ballot.
That means we’re ready to walk out if mgmt doesn’t get serious about discipline, AI & wages.
You can support us by amplifying our message or giving to our strike fund:

Status Scoop | ProPublica's Walkout Warning: The possibility of ProPublica staffers walking off the job just got far more serious. Unionized staffers at the nonprofit newsroom voted overwhelmingly this week to authorize a strike, Natalie Korach has learned. The ProPublica Guild represents about 150 journalists, videographers, and other newsroom employees. A major sticking point in the negotiations with management has centered on the use of artificial intelligence in reporting, with the union demanding protections from having jobs replaced by the rapidly advancing technology. “We are ready to walk off the job to show management that their refusal to agree to basic protections will not be tolerated and that we will not accept anything less than a fair contract,” said Agnel Philip, unit chair of ProPublica Guild.
these are the best reporters in the country, give them whatever the fuck they want

As a @propublica.org alum, I urge its leadership to talk seriously with staffers about guardrails around the use of AI in the newsroom. This seems like a solvable issue.
Solidarity with my former colleagues @propublicaguild.org
I really appreciated this @startribune.com long fact check of statements made by the Feds before during and after their occupation of Minnesota.
The results will not surprise you.

Just ran into a man wearing a Colorado Rockies hat. I asked if he’s from Colorado. “No,” he said. This must be how Jesus felt about Peter.
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.
