Finally, in December, I reported on the fallout of the administration's crackdown on legal immigration following the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, DC.

More to come in 2026.

And I profiled a Navy veteran who chases ICE on a scooter across the neighborhoods of Baltimore.

In November, I also wrote about the Trump administration's active targeting of DACA recipients with valid protection for arrest, detention, and deportation.

For the November/December issue, I reported on a one-time prison town in Colorado that has gotten divided over potential plans to open an ICE detention center in their backyard.

In October, I followed up on my March piece about the US immigration courts with detailed accounts from fired immigration judges.

For the September/October issue of the magazine, I reported on Trump's attack on Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans and the largest de-legalization push in modern US history.

@nlanard.bsky.social and I talked to some of the Venezuelans after they were released from CECOT and sent back to Venezuela and documented their stories about what they endured in El Salvador.

In July, I reported on ICE's arrest of a Brazilian-born high schooler and how it galvanized a Massachusetts town.

In June, I wrote about how several of the men sent to CECOT had their pending asylum cases in the United States dismissed by immigration judges.

I also looked back at my previous reporting on "Remigration" in light of Trump's proposal to create a Remigration Office within the State Department.

In May, I worked on an article about the Trump administration's attack on a legal services program for detained immigrants with serious mental health needs and cognitive disabilities.

@nlanard.bsky.social and I also reported on the detained migrants who were at risk of being sent to El Salvador next.

In April, I followed up on our original investigation with an in-depth story about another Venezuelan sent to CECOT, Julio Zambrano, and the impact his removal had on his family.

Also in March, @nlanard.bsky.social and I interviewed the relatives, friends, and lawyers of 10 Venezuelans sent to El Salvador's CECOT without due process and on flimsy allegations of gang membership due to innocuous tattoos. One man, Neri Alvarado, had an autism awareness tattoo for his brother.

I also talked to descendants of survivors of the World War II internment camps about Trump's revival of the infamous Alien Enemies Act.

March was a BUSY month. I wrote the first of many pieces about the purge of the immigration courts.

In February, I partnered with @hurwitz.bsky.social to chronicle how immigration enforcement impacted students in the Boston area.
