@morgreports.lpm.orgAs I dug through hundreds of court cases filed by immigrants ICE jailed in Kentucky, I noticed a pattern. A lot of the cases were for truck drivers, and most of them were getting arrested on the job in Indiana. Here's the story👇
@morgreports.lpm.orgFederal judge says ICE must free Armelle Bondonga from the Clark County jail in Southern Indiana while her immigration case continues.
@morgreports.lpm.orgReally cool thing they’ve put together for the anniversary of a big cultural moment for KY.

@morgreports.lpm.orgFor KyCIR and our regional partner stations, I analyzed the newest ICE arrest data for Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia. I found local law enforcement making more arrests for ICE, while jails also contribute - in a couple different ways - to ICE's mass detention efforts. Learn more:
@tessaduvall.bsky.socialReposted by @morgreports.lpm.orgToday is my last day at the Lexington Herald-Leader. After more than seven years as a journalist in my home state of Kentucky and more than four on this wonderful team, I'm embarking on a new (and unknown) chapter.
But first, I'd like to recap some of my favorite work for @kentucky.com.

@morgreports.lpm.orgNew KyCIR report from @storiesbyjess.bsky.social about the data-sharing agreements JCPS has with education tech companies - and what we know, and don't, about the data they're collecting on students and how they're using it. She searched for, and then read, a bunch of contracts to figure this out.
@rainesford.bsky.socialReposted by @morgreports.lpm.orgI work with some high school journalists in Kentucky. The journalists laid off from the Herald-Leader today are among those I've heard students mention by name, and whose stories they read, share, and aspire to. All those journalists deserved better than this.
@morgreports.lpm.orgThe layoffs today at the Lexington Herald-Leader are brutal. A personal loss for great journalists I know, and a community loss for the Kentuckians they've worked hard to report local news for.
@morgreports.lpm.orgIt's an especially great day to support your local public radio crew @lpm.org - because it's not just the first day of our fall fundraising drive, it's also Give for Good Louisville! When you donate today, you can help us win extra prize money. 💸📻📡
