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. 🧵

2/ I stayed by Monica Moreta-Galarza, who was seeking asylum with her family, until she was discharged from the hospital.

“Over [in Ecuador], they beat us there too. I didn’t think I’d come here to the United States and the same thing would happen to me,” she said in Spanish.

I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse.

Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

On Feb. 15, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas called his wife from inside a Texas immigration detention facility.

He asked her to record a message, “just in case something happens to me.”

.@propublica photojournalist Stacy Kranitz (@s_ak) won the 2025 Domestic Photography Award for her immersive photo essay, “The Year After A Denied Abortion.” Kranitz’s piece documents a year in the life of a struggling mother, Mayron Michelle Hollis, who was denied an abortion to end a life-threatening pregnancy. The piece seeks to answer a critical question: What happens when a state forbids abortion but offers little support once babies are born? “The Year After A Denied Abortion” was also named the Grand Prize Winner.

Our heartfelt congratulations to Stacy and ProPublica! Learn more about this year's winners ➡️ https://t.co/TBXNy7GeR9

In Idaho, there is no oversight of elected county coroners, contributing to a low autopsy rate.

From 2018 to 2022, 49% of child deaths attributed to unnatural or unknown causes were autopsied — far below the national average of 79%.

[ProPublica @propublica]

New: With a lack of regulation for coroners, a child who dies unexpectedly or outside of a doctor's care in Idaho is less likely to be autopsied than anywhere else in the United States. https://t.co/PZvexubDme

Trump carried all four counties in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley just eight years after drawing a mere 29% in the region — a feat that included delivering 97% Latino Starr County to Republicans for the first time since 1896.

New: Josseli Barnica is one of at least two pregnant Texas women who died after doctors delayed emergency care. She'd told her husband that the medical team said it couldn't act until the fetal heartbeat stopped. https://t.co/8qxo6obNP4

Cities are increasingly removing or “sweeping” homeless encampments. Some say it’s a way to get people inside. But 135 people told @ProPublica sweeps made it harder to survive, find housing and get or keep jobs.
