NEW: Last year, a former modeling agent who famously introduced Trump and Melania asked a top ICE official to have the mother of his son detained. Paolo Zampolli told the official that it would help him in a custody battle. The ICE official agreed to help. nytimes.com/2026/03/20/us/…

Today is my first day at ProPublica as an investigative reporter covering higher education. I'm planning to focus especially on everything that has changed under the Trump administration. Email me tips, ideas, or just introduce yourself at molly.hensley-clancy@propublica.org

Charles Exum, the agent who shot Martinez, testified about trying to traverse the city somewhat incognito, because officers had been followed to their hotels and restaurants. On the day of the shooting, he had an Uber decal in his windshield of his CBP vehicle.

This Border Patrol agent, like other agents sent to Chicago last fall, had been lifted from his regular duties along a partially remote stretch of border in Maine and placed in an unfamiliar urban environment with people protesting and exercising their constitutional rights.

The case of Marimar Martinez, a U.S. citizen and preschool teaching assistant who was shot by a federal agent in Chicago, offers the most complete picture yet of a D.H.S. shooting and its aftermath: newyorker.com/news/annals-of…

Later today Alysa Liu will take the ice in Milan in the women’s short program. She might be one of the most interesting people in figure skating - and that’s saying something! Here’s a story I did on her chaotic but effective process wapo.st/46aDGvw

There were hints this was coming but now Trump admin is claiming authority w/new memo to arrest/detain refugees w/o a green card. It could impact 100K people. Refugee advocates say it’s legally, morally wrong & undermines entire US refugee project: washingtonpost.com/immigration/20…
