Every day across the country, people who were arrested by ICE are released. Often they’re alone far from home. But a loose network of men and women are working to help. I rode with a woman as she drove folks home. My latest on a remarkable national story (link below)

Today’s story: After two months in ICE detention, CPS senior Ricardo Hernandez-Navarrete is free to walk Mather High School graduation with classmates. He got a special shoutout from the stage. Story @chicagotribune edited by the great @eslife

Shoutout to all the NPR reporters who lost their jobs today. Thank you for your service. So many great journalists moving on at a time when good reporting is needed more than ever. Nothing but respect.

Still have so much to learn about Chicago after a little more than a year here. One thing I can say I now know, though, is that when the Trib wins a Pulitzer, we head to the Billy Goat. 🍺🐐

We spoke w/almost a dozen former Krishnamoorthi staffers who described a nearly round-the-clock fundraising operation, working 80 or 100 hours a week, in which some workers burned out after only a few months.

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story https://t.co/8kZQFXGuGQ

Video from a neighbor of immigration agents detaining Ricardo Aguayo Rodriguez Sunday morning in Melrose Park. Ricardo was hospitalized after the arrest.

[adrianaperez.bsky.social @adrianamperezr]

Videos on social media show Ricardo Aguayo Rodriguez struggling on the ground while a federal immigration agent keeps him in a headlock during an arrest in Melrose Park, IL. “Por favor, amigo,” he pleads as he groans and yells in pain.
