Remember that big government raid on an apartment building in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago?

@propublica.org looked into it and found little evidence to support the government's claims. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

The government doesn’t track how many citizens are held by immigration agents. @nicolefoy.bsky.social @propublica.org found more than 170 cases this year where citizens were detained at raids and protests.

Trump's Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools — and the end of public educations as we know it.

The oil industry touts Texas as a success story in controlling climate-warming methane emissions, but the state grants nearly every request to burn or vent gas.

After years of allowing chronically underenrolled public schools to struggle, Chicago is spending millions to transform 3 into STEAM academies, hoping to draw families back to the neighborhood schools that many of them abandoned.

Photographer Adriana Loureiro Fernández spent months following the story of the Venezuelan men deported to prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration.

She shares that experience today on @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/ceco...

Though happy to be home, they say the fact that they were released is proof of how senseless their detentions were. @propublica.org @texastribune.org www.propublica.org/article/vene...

We found that at least 197 of the men had not been convicted of crimes in the U.S. and nearly 118 were actually in the middle of their immigration cases. The men ranged in age from 18 to 46. projects.propublica.org/venezuelan-i...

Earlier this year, over 230 Venezuelan men were sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration.

Our @propublica.org team spent months looking into who they were to find the truth behind their stories. projects.propublica.org/venezuelan-i...

Albert Jesús Rodríguez Parra was one of the more than 230 Venezuelan men the Trump administration sent to a maximum security prison in El Salvador. Now released and home with family, @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social writes about his ordeal for @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/vene...

In March the Trump administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador, calling the men “some of the most violent savages on the face of the Earth.”

@propublica.org went looking for the truth to their stories — one by one.
