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.

Donation forms are often targeted for credit card fraud, since they have very low minimums (at PP, even $1 makes you a member!). To prevent stolen card tests, we use the highest security, which requires more info, and that it matches the card. We never share, trade or rent your PII.

Entire government agencies are being reshaped, career experts are leaving and power is shifting — often behind closed doors.

ProPublica is investigating.

Dr Weiner told Anthony that he’d die without chemotherapy and to ignore a negative biopsy.

As a result, Anthony endured 9 years of chemo for a cancer he never had, impeding the care he needed for his very real diabetes.

Opinion | Our democracy needs a different model for journalism Informed voters are increasingly an endangered species. ProPublica’s nonprofit model could help save them.

I agree with this quote (because it's true) about ProPublica's audience "ProPublica does not assume its audience wants to hear only about those stories or is allergic to diverse topics."

I'm so lucky to be able to talk to our members about our work!

Doctors said it was “inevitable” that Josseli Barnica would miscarry.

Yet they waited 40 hours for the fetal heartbeat to stop.

She died of an infection 3 days later.
