thread of my favorite stories from this year. first up, obviously, is my @verge feature on video hearings in immigration court https://www.theverge.com/21408606/ice-immigrant-detention-centers-video-chats-deportation-refugees-asylum
this year i did a ton of collaborative work with other immigration reporters! like this piece for @theintercept with @jlosc9 https://theintercept.com/2020/07/23/ice-guards-excessive-force-sick-immigrants/
and three!!! different stories with @jherrerx. this one, for @POLITICOMag, was about how immigrants detained in the rural south are at particular risk when it comes to covid https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.politico.com/amp/news/magazine/2020/05/05/coronavirus-ice-detention-rural-communities-186688
for @thenation, @jherrerx and i wrote about how ICE exported the pandemic to other countries via deportation https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/deportation-coronavirus-immigration/
and for @newrepublic, we spoke with women detained in ICE’s “family residential centers” about the government asking them to choose between being detained indefinitely or separated from their kids in the middle of a pandemic https://newrepublic.com/article/158178/pandemic-era-rebrand-family-separation
i wrote about how local cops collaborate with ICE and the cruel banality of immigration enforcement for @thebafflermag’s global policing issue https://thebaffler.com/logical-revolts/the-invisible-border-del-valle
i also did a few labor stories for @thegoods. this one, about how service workers are basically being fed to the wolves, is from may and is more relevant now than it was then https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2020/5/19/21263698/store-safety-coronavirus-starbucks-target-taco-bell
this year was weird and i did a lot of work i’m really proud of and also tried to take a step back and work less, which has been great for my brain. v grateful to all the editors who made me sound smarter and made my ideas better :) ok i’ve got a paper to write bye!!!!!
