New from @Graham_Bowley @talasafie and I: To document the destruction of cultural heritage in Gaza since the start of Israel’s assault, we followed the history of Gaza’s Great Omari mosque, destroyed by an IDF airstrike on December 4.

NEW: The Trump admin is building a network of super-powerful A.I. cameras at the border. But the cameras have been placed near parks, homes and beaches. Already, more than 1 million people live in areas where these cameras can watch them.

An investigation cross-referenced nearly 4,000 sites where migrant remains were found against roughly 600 US border surveillance towers. More than 1,050 people died within a tower's advertised range between 2015 and early 2026. 🧵

We reported U.S.-Israeli strikes on or near schools and health care facilities, military justifications for targeting these sites and violations of international law.

"At least 11 American military bases or installations have been damaged — nearly half of all such sites in the region." nytimes.com/interactive/2026…
We identified at least 17 damaged U.S. sites and other installations, several of which have been struck more than once since the war began. Our analysis is based on satellite imagery, verified social media videos and statements by gov. officials.

NEW for @newlinesmag, @ChrisOsieck and I investigated a March 5 air strike on an EMS base and recreational
area in Zibashahr Park, Shiraz. 20 people were reportedly killed, including 3 medical workers.
A review of post-strike videos and images, along with satellite imagery and mapping data, shows that this civilian park was directly hit, raising questions about whether the incident was a case of mistaken targeting.

Last May, Tennessee Highway Patrol joined ICE on the streets of Nashville.
We @LHreports + partners mapped the traffic stops and used 1M+ ICE records, dashcam video, and court files to show how supposed routine encounters became deportations.
The footage seems to contradict the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the event, which the agency said began after the victim approached the federal agents with a handgun and the intent to “massacre” them.

The variety of federal forces deployed to support President Trump’s deportation and anticrime campaigns continues to expand. It can be hard to tell them apart or to understand what powers each agency has. Here is a guide to how these forces are operating.
