NEW: Nike says its factory workers should earn enough to pay their basic needs and have some money left over.
In Indonesia, its factory workforce has shrunk where the minimum wage is considered enough to live on.
And it has grown, dramatically, where the opposite is true.
Citing reporting by @propublica.org and others, nearly 4,000 doctors, nurses and health professionals sent a letter to DHS Sec Kristi Noem calling for the immediate release of all children currently in immigration detention. Full letter: tinyurl.com/yz2amueb 1/
Hello! I’m the reporter who has been tracking citizens detained by immigration agents. And last night, I noticed something: A lot of them were at the State of the Union, including a number of whom I’ve written about.
Their stories should be known:
Amid what detainees say is a clampdown in Dilley, TX, including seizures of kids' drawings and crayons, Christian Hinojosa stuffed letters in her jacket to hide them from guards. She told @micarosenberg.bsky.social and me her story. We published the letters today.

📽️ WATCH: We went inside the immigrant family detention center in Dilley, Texas.
Listen to what kids told reporter @micarosenberg.bsky.social about their life in detention — and the things they’ve lost and left behind.

Read our full story that details how we got inside the Dilley detention center for immigrant families here: www.propublica.org/article/life...
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
This is 18-mo-old Amalia waving to me when she was detained.
She was hospitalized with a respiratory infection while at ICE’s Dilley facility for immigrant families.
She’s one of dozens of detainees who I spoke to via video and phone calls, letters and an in-person visit. 🧵1/
"No puedo respirar"—the same phrase @nicolefoy.bsky.social and I heard while reporting our recent @propublica.org story about immigration agents' use of banned chokeholds. These and other neck restraints have been prohibited since at least 2011 in detention facilities: www.ice.gov/doclib/deten...

I’m one of the ProPublica reporters who has been documenting the aggressive tactics federal agents are using against immigrants & U.S. citizens
All eyes are on Minnesota right now, but I want to tell you about Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-YO citizen in Houston who was choked by immigration agents in October
This is an outstanding and infuriating story, very well done, and well worth a read even with all else that’s going on.
Breaking from CBS: the officer who killed Renee Good "suffered internal bleeding"
Also from CBS, a few days ago: "but the direction of the tires appears to be facing away from the officer"

At @propublica.org we reported in April on how ICE Air flight attendants feel about having to transport shackled passengers: www.propublica.org/article/insi...
Screenshot of story text: “You need to go because you are American,” Rahel told him. “I will stay here because I am Eritrean.” She smiled weakly, trying to put on a brave face for him. “Remember, mommy is a fighter and she’s going to fight,” she said. Rahel was moved from one place to the next until eventually she boarded a plane, its destination unclear. She realized that, if there were an emergency, she would not be able to reach the oxygen mask with her shackled hands. She complained to an ICE officer. “Nothing we can do,” she said he told her. “These are the rules.” She couldn’t stop imagining that the cabin would experience air loss and she would die trying to reach her mask. When the plane landed, Rahel saw that another detainee had begun menstruating and blood had seeped through her clothes and onto her seat. She would remain like this, blood drenching her clothes, as she moved from the plane to buses and walked in front of dozens of officers. “How can this be happening in America?” Rahel thought.
Incredible @matinastevis.bsky.social story about an asylum-seeker kept apart from her son and family as she ping-ponged back and forth between U.S. and Canadian immigration officials has a telling detail about ICE Air.

Article text: “In South Carolina, a Colombian family of five went to a government office for a fingerprinting appointment, only to have the parents detained while the children — ages 5, 11 and 15 — were sent into the shelter system for four months. In South Florida, a 17-year-old from Guatemala was taken into custody because officers couldn't make contact with his dad after a traffic stop; his dad is deaf. In Maryland, a 17-year-old from Mexico ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn onto military property.”
"A cracked windshield, a waiting officer, a forgotten document: The new family separations often start in the most mundane ways." From our story out today: www.propublica.org/article/ice-...
1. This year traffic stops by Florida cops have led to at least two dozen immigrant kids being separated from their family or caregivers and placed in federal shelters.
For one 15-year-old, it began with a cracked windshield.
NEW: Today we published a new investigation into something happening largely out of view: immigrant kids getting separated from their families and placed in federal shelters, in some cases after something as mundane as a traffic stop🧵 1/

A Black Hawk helicopter. SWAT teams repelling to the roof. 300 agents. Flash-bang grenades. A TV crew.
“It’s 20,000 of them running through my house like we got Saddam Hussein in the closet."
For all that, fed prosecutors filed no criminal charges against anyone who was arrested.
Stunning report.
War ravaged” Portland? @robwdavis.bsky.social , Steve Suo, and Joanna Shan watched hundreds and hundreds of videos to find out. (And the federal government, apparently, did not.)
Veterans with cancer struggling to get VA benefits... because it's breast cancer... because they're men... because "gender ideology extremism" caused this cancer?
So a few months ago, we detailed how immigration agents were breaking car windows to grab the people inside.
Well, it turns out one agent just did that *with his gun* and mistakenly shot the person inside and a U.S. marshal.

New story by @davidmcswane.bsky.social and @hannahallam.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/trum...
White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.
Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.
This is what I found.
Let me help you with that, Speaker Johnson.
This is what we documented.

Screenshot of an October 16, 2025 tweet by the Department of Homeland Security claiming that ProPublica's reporting that more than 170 U.S. citizens have been arrested by immigration authorities since January was "fake news" and that DHS enforcement operations are "HIGHLY TARGETED"
Over on Twitter, DHS just questioned @nicolefoy.bsky.social's vital @propublica.org reporting on American citizens arrested by immigration agents, calling her story "fake news." But—whoops!—they conveniently forgot the link. Here it is. Check the receipts. www.propublica.org/article/immi...
The reality of Kavanaugh stops: American citizens dragged, tackled, beaten, tased, and shot by immigration agents. Citizens held in the rain while in their underwear. A pregnant citizen's door blown off while Kristi Noem watched. Important story by @nicolefoy.bsky.social of @propublica.org
