This isn’t just about individual scams but also about a system so confusing and inaccessible that people feel they have no choice but to trust anyone promising a path forward. And reporting fraud is just as complicated.
A new investigation I reported w/ Max Blaisdell shows how immigrants seeking legal help are being targeted by scams. During a time when people are desperate for work permits, green cards, or asylum, notarios & impostors can exploit that fear. Via @southsideweekly.bsky.social @typeinvestigations.org

In one shocking case, a pair of fraudsters in Chicago and Melrose Park were named in complaints with the Illinois Attorney General alleging they defrauded clients of more than $100,000 between 2022-23 alone. @ilattygeneral.bsky.social didn’t answer our questions about the status of those complaints.

Yesterday, @thenation.com ran my unprecedented investigation revealing a major U.S. landlord's links to West Bank settlements and the IDF.

To see how American Landmark's U.S. tenants are being victimized, let's look at AL's properties in Charlotte, NC. (1/10)

Today's must-read by @thomasbirm.bsky.social: a major corporate landlord is fueling homelessness across the U.S. *and* the mass displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank.

The Israeli company owns tens of thousands of apartments in the South, filing evictions at nine times the national average.
