In 2024, lawmakers celebrated the largest investment in Idaho’s history to fix its schools. But only a handful will be able to fully address challenges to accessibility.

The government does not track how often immigration agents hold Americans. So ProPublica did.
We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.
