Heartbreaking reporting by @marcelanotes.bsky.social on the aftermath of ICE detention.

Yesterday was my last day @dallasnews.com.

It’s a bittersweet departure. Being a reporter in Texas taught me so much. I’m forever grateful for the amazing people I’ve met along the way.

More on what’s next very soon.
