Rodriguez attended the Oaxacan baseball academy I wrote about for @nytimes.com years ago. None of the young men at the academy were from Oaxaca at that point.

Matt Krupnick @mattkrupnick.bsky.social · 30/06/2026So while I'd like to provide readers with more eviction coverage, @cccourtclerk.bsky.social doesn't want the public to know about this data. That's particularly frustrating as rent continues to climb in Chicago and unhoused people are forced to live in bus shelters and parks. 6/6 000
Matt Krupnick @mattkrupnick.bsky.social · 30/06/2026The clerk's office has stopped responding to my inquiries. Because the courts are not covered by FOIA laws, they're allowed to simply ignore requests for taxpayer-funded information. 5/6 100
Matt Krupnick @mattkrupnick.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Now here it is in late June and I have not received basic information from the court, more than four months later. Winter turned into spring a month after I submitted the request, and now it's summer. 4/6 100
Matt Krupnick @mattkrupnick.bsky.social · 30/06/2026In April I realized I hadn't received the data, so I reached out to the clerk's office to ask about it. They said they never received the request, which is an easy claim to dispute because of email receipts. 3/6 100
Matt Krupnick @mattkrupnick.bsky.social · 30/06/2026In February of this year I requested additional data through the end of 2025.
