‘Pretty sure he’s wet:’ Immigration agents used racial slurs during LA sweeps, court records show. “Yeah, just plug us in wherever you see some tonks and we’ll jump out.” “tonks everywhere selling food.”  W/ @wendyfry.bsky.social calmatters.org/justice/2026...

Boy, am I going to miss Zane. He was an ante-upper and an envelope-pusher in all the best ways. He took everything exactly the right amount of seriously. His wit and wordplay was hard to keep pace with, but it was fun to try. He was a stellar journalist and an even better colleague.

Fucking awful. My heart goes out to all the reporters at The Oregonian, his family and partner. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Really sad to learn this news over the weekend. Zane really cared about journalism and worked incredibly hard throughout his too short career.

Portland lost one of its most delightful journalists/human beings this weekend. 💔

Awful news this morning — one of Oregon's best reporters has passed away, all too young. His absence will be felt by the media and by the public at large. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Federal judge: Continued Border Patrol sweeps in California violated court order In a tersely worded decision unsealed Thursday morning, the judge wrote that agents had “again detained people without reasonable suspicion,” W/ @wendyfry.bsky.social calmatters.org/justice/2026...

We live in a time when the federal government considers it taboo to name officers. I asked @sergioolmos.bsky.social about his team's decision to identify five Border Patrol officers who spent last year traveling the country and violently arresting people -- and the inevitable criticism they'd face.

We observed over 25 agents who appeared in more than one city, either by recognising their faces or matching badge numbers visible on their vests or arm patches. Many were seen alongside former Border Patrol Commander at Large, Gregory Bovino, on at least one occasion.

Bellingcat and our partners at @evidentmedia.org and @calmatters.org have tracked US Border Patrol agents, analysing over 85 hours of footage taken across the country to try and unpack the circumstances around multiple use-of-force incidents. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

@evidentmedia.org and @sergioolmos.bsky.social produced this excellent video report www.youtube.com/watch?v=evAD...

We worked with @evidentmedia.org and @calmatters.org to track and identify Border Patrol agents who have used force in multiple cities and on multiple occasions during immigration crackdowns over the past year 👇
