1) Her Story
This is a neat little mystery game, although the fact that I was years ago spoiled on the twist meant it probably didn't have the same effect on me as people who played it when it came out.

I'm sure bodycams and mask bans can reform this
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Good reporting, which also includes this detail:
"Even after it became evident that ICE had made a mistake and had caused an international incident, the agency wanted to put the South Koreans in chains when transporting them to the airport to depart the country, according to Kuck and media reports"

This is like a scene out of Monty Python.
ICE agents get a name back from face recognition and multiple agents start calling out "Maria! Maria!" to see if a woman in custody reacts. (Presumably if she does that's a match???)
It didn't work, so they ran the app again and got another name.
