Yari has been in detention for over a year and has lost over 70 pounds and missed critical treatment according to her loved ones. Her partner is terrified that she could be the next person to die in ICE detention, adding to the known 18 people who have died in detention in 2026. by @caitlin_oh

I went out in the afternoon yesterday to talk to people working in the heat and using the library to cool off as the valley’s heat relief network doesn’t officially start services until May. 1: Kyle Gaines and Sierra Slothower cool off at the Tempe Public Library.

“I want to make sure it doesn’t happen to other women,” Jaylynn Dean said while she was on the witness stand. On Feb. 5 in Phoenix, a jury ordered Uber to pay Jaylynn Dean $8.5M after she was raped by a driver in 2023 in Tempe, Ariz. I met her to make photos for @nytimes on Feb. 4 at the hotel she was staying at in Phoenix where she bravely testified in a case that could pave the way for justice for other victims. From Emily Steel’s reporting: “The ride-hailing giant has long maintained that it is not liable for the misconduct of drivers on its platform, whom it classifies as independent contractors, not employees. But the jury rejected that defense, providing a road map for more than 3,000 pending sexual assault and sexual misconduct lawsuits that accuse the company of systemic safety failures.”It was really powerful to work with Jaylynn on these portraits, though I wish we had met for another reason. by @caitlin_oh

Hi all, I want to share some photos from a recent reporting trip about Freeport-McMoran’s collusion with the EPA to evade air quality standards. In Miami, Arizona I met parents like Lee Becquet who told @maxinecoversclimate and I that he doesn’t like to leave the house with his 2-year-old son, Eugene. He brought him out briefly for the portrait (in the first slide here, his hands are also in the last slide) and then took him back inside to play. And Cherish Hinton and her son Journey (third photo). A former welder at a Freeport facility herself, she told us “It’s for two years, right? Maybe give it a year and see if there are health impacts in the community.”This town has a complicated relationship with the copper smelter that employs nearly half the town (950 permanent jobs). Many didn’t want to go on the record criticizing the company—they have provided a good way of life for many. They own and maintain the little league fields, they sponsored the Christmas display in the town park. But there are serious health costs. “In 2024, the copper smelter emitted more than 11.6 tons of lead and 2.5 tons of arsenic, according to data the company reported to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality,” @maxinecoversclimate reported. I’m hoping this story can lead to more oversight and pressure the company into doing right by the people who work and live near its Miami Operations. They have loyalty to the company and I hope the company doesn’t continue to take advantage of that. by @caitlin_oh
