Thanks @democracynow.org for giving me a chance to share a new @propublica.org investigation from @mckenziefunk.com & me

As Federal Prisons Run Low on Food and Toilet Paper, Corrections Officers Leave in Droves for ICE Many of the problems the agency is facing now are not new, but staff and prisoners fear an exodus of officers could make life behind bars even worse.

Background: www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Last year when I wrote about prison staff jumping ship for ICE, I reported that BOP had lost a net of at least 1400 employees by late fall.

I just got new data showing they lost a net of ~1700 by mid-December -- though w/EOY retirements the final 2025 figures will likely be higher.

After the US admin cancelled the $B Climate + Weather Disaster dataset, @climatecentral.org hired the scientists who ran it and set it back up.

Now the 2025 numbers are in: it's 3rd highest year on record and highest year w/o land-falling hurricanes.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Can't help thinking about the many citizens detained by immigration agents & held at gunpoint or had guns/less lethals pointed at them

Some (thinking of George Retes) reported attempts to move out of the way per agents' requests, but were violently detained anyway

The EPA Was Considering a Massive Lead Cleanup in Omaha. Then Trump Shifted Guidance. The Trump administration says it will speed cleanups, but residents of the largest residential lead Superfund site worry fewer properties will be remediated.

NEW: For more than a century, a smelter spewed lead dust over Omaha.

For decades, the government cleaned it up.

But a shift in guidance from the Trump administration may stop thousands more from potential cleanup, exposing families to the harmful metal.

I reported on ICE detaining US citizens in SoCal for @capitalandmain.bsky.social in August.

"Critically, there is no way to know the complete scope of these stops since the government itself does not track them."

An astonishing amount of work that went into shining a light on the details in this remarkable void.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go."

The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces on Wednesday, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs being removal from being at the seat of U.S. military power.

BREAKING: Journalists exited the Pentagon after refusing to agree to the Trump administration's new restrictions on access.

Thank you so much, Mary. I'm one of the reporters working on this and will be sure to reach out to them! If you have any other recommendations of who we should reach out to, please email us at helenetips@propublica.org. Thanks again!

If you don’t have a tip, the best thing you can do is share this information with anyone who might find it useful. Thank you for helping!!

NEW: One proposed rule would strip aid from families where a member is in the U.S. illegally.

Families could keep their assistance IF the ineligible member moves out.

But HUD expects many families to give up assistance out of “fear of the family being separated.”
