1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse.
Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

The Times takes their horse race reporting about as seriously as you should... which is.... not at all. 🏇📊
I just had to check it for myself: the NYT truly only compressed Mamdani to fit into the mobile version, and none of the others. 📊 #dataviz
