My colleague @jaclynmdiaz.bsky.social went to Florida and spent some time with a sheriff's office to better understand how police are working with ICE. A lot of counties have been very tight-lipped about it. Worth a read. www.npr.org/2026/08/14/n...

Today is a really hard day here at NPR. We're losing some good people, including people I'm very close to. The reasons for the layoff are complicated. We lost a lot of federal money, gained a lot of donations, but NPR isn’t sure how sustainable those donations will be in the future.
