Description

<p dir="ltr">Our managing editor, Kevin Sullivan, had a conversation this week with an old colleague in Minnesota that we wanted to share with you as quickly as we could. He&rsquo;s a former data journalist, Michael Corey, who lives with his family in St. Paul. As ICE agents have flooded Mike&rsquo;s state as part of a massive federal immigration enforcement operation, he started getting involved in grassroots efforts to track and document ICE&rsquo;s conduct. He&rsquo;s been following and filming agents during tense encounters, including one where they chased <a href="https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/12/10/ice-agents-tackle-arrest-american-citizen-in-minneapolis">an American citizen</a> into a building, pinned him against a wall, and arrested him.&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">Mike takes us inside what it&rsquo;s like to live in Minnesota right now, and tells us how he and his neighbors are getting and trying to verify information with the encrypted messaging app, Signal, which he thinks deserves a Pulitzer.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong id="docs-internal-guid-2545251f-7fff-aa69-4d5e-b3831a6b6845"></strong>Question Everything is a production of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.kcrw.org">KCRW</a> and <a href="http://www.placementtheory.com">Placement Theory</a>.
