New: “In Texas, we fight fraud head-on,” Ken Paxton said last year. Yet records show his trust gave $600K to a convicted fraudster’s new company in 2020, which later wired the trust tens of thousands of dollars before and during his 2023 impeachment. propub.li/3VZGlGd

New: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. propub.li/47FL1Uh

Susan Collins claims that @propublica’s reporting about CEO Martin Kao’s bribery allegations took him at his word. That’s not true. We reviewed a trove of FBI evidence and legal records. 📽️ Here’s how we independently corroborated much of Kao’s account: youtube.com/watch?v=jqyiFFB7…

New: ProPublica’s Jake Pearson lost $10,000 mimicking the betting patterns of a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards. One week in, he was invited to become a VIP — and faced little pushback as he spiraled. propub.li/4dGHrwr

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. Thread👇

.@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 ➡️ rfkhro.org/3ZtAyr6

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%.
