Lay down your shovels, stow away your maps and relinquish your quest for riches: a treasure hunt that captivated San Francisco ended this week, across the bridge in Marin.

I had the delight of hearing the treasure finders' tale.

Read about it here:

No end to the praise for @godovasquez by anyone who worked with him: Kind, generous, amazingly talented, detailed to a fault.

That the @AP laid him off will never make sense.

Please donate to his cause & photo editors, you have a GREAT ONE

NEW: A viral video showed ICE agents detaining a woman at SFO on Sunday night. Documents obtained by the @nytimes show TSA officials scanning passenger lists tipped off ICE she was planning to fly to Miami. The woman has no criminal history.

Always great to team with @Haleaziz.

For a year now, I’ve been documenting how U.S. citizens are getting caught up in immigration enforcement operations.

But American children are increasingly collateral damage in the government’s campaign for mass deportations l

Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.)

But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

Despite how difficult this job can be, I am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post.

“All they're trying to do is get an education and go to college.”

Texas students say deportation fears, the loss of in-state tuition and the exclusion of DACA is forcing them to rethink their futures.

NEW:

"Dani Johnston called 911.

Answering, South Lake Tahoe dispatcher Nicole Sykes could hear only screaming. It was 2:20 p.m. on June 21. Then the line disconnected.

Sykes sent a text: 'What is your emergency?'

'Boat sinking.' "

Open Vallejo has won the June Sidney Award from the @SidneyHillman Foundation for its investigation into the in-custody death of Darryl Mefferd, which the city of Vallejo kept secret for nearly a decade.

[Anna Bauman @abauman2]

Thrilled to say I won a Sidney award for an investigation into a 2016 death in Vallejo police custody. It wouldn't have been possible without years of digging by @OpenVallejo & help from pro bono lawyers. Thank you @SidneyHillman for recognizing this work! https://t.co/7shvaVFCTN

A strange and sad story of homelessness, squatting and eviction by @abauman2

“Eight years ago, the 60-year-old man moved onto an unusual wedge of vacant land near Interstate 880 in Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood, which he thought had no owner.” https://t.co/FfpTX74SxZ

[Anna Bauman @abauman2]

Excited to see this investigation, my last for @OpenVallejo, out in the world.

Darryl Mefferd died in Vallejo police custody in 2016 after an officer held him facedown on the ground for minutes — a common yet preventable situation, experts say.

NEW: Jack LaSota, who is allegedly the namesake for a violent fringe group known as the Zizians, faked their own death in 2022 while facing criminal charges. LaSota is free from custody but wanted in CA and PA for failing to appear in criminal court cases. https://t.co/mwRjFILh2v
