@christopherhale Do you have additional details on this? if so, would you send to my email?

A Catholic priest in Minnesota says his parish felt “less like the United States and more like a war zone” after Trump-Vance ICE agents arrested a longtime church employee in the parish parking lot and later stationed masked officers outside the church during Sunday Mass. Church leaders say actions like these are no longer isolated, but part of an anti-Catholic White House enforcement strategy increasingly aimed at parishes serving immigrant communities thelettersfromleo.com/p/in-anti-cath…

The Minnesota Star Tribune’s Andy Mannix and ProPublica’s Jessica Lussenhop collaborated on an investigation into a church community in Duluth. They found that church leaders enabled a child abuser by telling his victims to forgive and forget. startribune.com/sexual-abuse-o…

Homeowners desperate for cash turned to these "sale-leaseback" deals. My investigation for @NPR found it cost some people tens of thousands. Some were even evicted from homes they used to own. npr.org/2024/06/18/nx-…

INVESTIGATION: Why 1,000 homicides in St. Louis remain unsolved | @stlpublicradio @MarshallProj @apmreports Police have struggled to solve killings due to staffing shortages, shoddy detective work and lack of community trust. stlpr.org/law-order/2024…

Roughly 1,900 homicides have been committed in St. Louis since 2014. More than 1,000 remain unsolved. Police solved nearly two-thirds cases involving White victims. But for killings of Black victims, they solved fewer than half. themarshallproject.org/2024/06/03/st-…

@JRHSTLGolfs @stlpublicradio @apmreports @MarshallProj Nearly 90% of the city’s homicides involve Black victims.

@stlpublicradio @apmreports @MarshallProj What’s the total amount of homicides involving blacks versus the total involving whites?

In the past decade, police solved fewer than half of the homicide cases with Black victims and two-thirds of the cases with white ones. Pt. II of our "Unsolved" investigation with @apmreports & @MarshallProj looks at why that racial disparity is so stark. buff.ly/3wYFfyl

Of the roughly 1,900 homicides committed in St. Louis from 2014 through 2023, more than 1,000 remain unsolved, reports @MarshallProj, @apmreports & @stlpublicradio. Here's why. themarshallproject.org/2024/06/03/st-…

St. Louis' homicide unit also had to juggle “chronic understaffing,” budget problems and a ballooning backlog of DNA samples. The latest in our "Unsolved" investigation series with @apmreports & @MarshallProj: 2/2 stlpr.org/law-order/2024…

This important investigative series from @stlpublicradio's @rlippmann, in collaboration with @apmreports + @MarshallProj explores how and why police in St. Louis have struggled to solve killings, leaving thousands of family members without answers. stlpr.org/unsolved

As the number of killings increased in St. Louis, the homicide unit struggled with tight budgets, unrelenting overtime, turnover in key positions, an exodus of crime lab technicians and a ballooning backlog of DNA samples. Our latest in the series… apmreports.org/story/2024/06/…
