    Some news: I'm thrilled to be joining @Law360 as senior immigration reporter, starting 3/15 from Boston. Covering all things immigration law, hoping to drill in on asylum, work visas, and ICE. DM for new email address!

    .@evezuckoff & I talked with Pablo, one of the 50 migrants brought through false pretenses to Martha's Vineyard. When I asked if his family was with him, he said "thank god no." His child is in Venezuela. He's upset to be "used by politicians." His destination was Utah. @GBHNews

    Professional news: This week is my last as a staff reporter at CommonWealth. Building immigration & housing beats, & covering criminal justice, health, & politics has been a privilege. I'll still be freelancing on some of these issues for Boston outlets. Info on new job soon!

    Replying to @LizSzabo
    The few times I’ve had xtra albuterol inhalers… I’ve wanted to find people like this to give them to. had to drop an entire month of food + utilities money ($300) when I didn’t have insurance in nyc for one. Parents shouldn’t have to worry abt the cost of their kids breathing.
