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.

Congress just rescinded $1.1 billion in public media funding, but the fight isn’t over. The FY 2026 process is underway. Urge Congress to save public media by restoring this essential funding @MyPublicMedia. bit.ly/40TjQCk

Some safety tips for demonstrators and journalists from my years of covering protests.

As you can see in the video, Sen. Padilla clearly identifies himself. DHS still wrote this post falsely claiming that he did not.
Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem.
Mr. Padilla was told repeatedly to back away and did not comply with officers’ repeated commands. @SecretService thought he was an attacker and officers acted appropriately.
Secretary Noem met with Senator Padilla after and held a 15 minute meeting.

BEST OPENING LINE TO A STORY THIS YEAR:
"Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s alliance took off like one of SpaceX’s rockets. It was supercharged and soared high. And then it blew up."
Bravo, @APNews.

I don’t know if Americans realize how often ICE arrests US citizens, and how long those citizens can spend detained. I spoke to Davino Watson, who spent 3.5 years in a detention center. He was a citizen every minute of that time. 1/3
Congress is considering clawing back approved public media funding – ripping vital services from our communities. Join me in stopping it. Call Congress now. bit.ly/3T68Qgw
