Kahlil Robert Irving's meticulous bronze replica of the streets of Ferguson. A beclowned statute of a Confederal naval commander, Matthew Fontaine Maury: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A 8,900-pound statue of Stonewall Jackson from Charlottesville, which stood at the heart of recent rallies by the Ku Klux Klan and others, was taken off its pedestal and given to artist Kara Walker.

She cut it into pieces and made a new work: "Unmanned Drone"

The @nytimes.com publishes so much excellent reporting every day.

But for a paper of record to take this approach to investigating the ICE arrest of a popular Black superintendent in a majority white state?

It is deeply, deeply irresponsible.

And then, of course, there's the fact that the popular Iowa school superintendent that ICE dramatically arrested is Black.

That's no accident. This is part of a bigger story about the attacks on Black educational leaders. How is Claudine Gay not mentioned in this story? Or "critical race theory"?

With all this reporting, and 3 journalists on the story, you'd think the @nytimes.com could have interviewed at least one or two other undocumented professionals who could offer context on Roberts' trajectory and choices.

Or what his high-profile arrest meant for other undocumented people in Iowa.

It's 2025. Dreamers have been in the headlines for a decade. The median DACA recipient is a millennial in their 30s.

75% of Dreamers were pursuing a bachelor's degree or more, per one survey.

Who's shocked that someone undocumented became a school leader?

And then there's the characterization that a superintendent being undocumented "was counter to the image many have of undocumented immigrants. This was not someone living under the radar, toiling in a low-wage job."

Is this racist stereotype really the common belief of "many" @nytimes.com readers?
