NEW: Next week, Providence plans to clear two encampments where ~ 50 unhoused people are living, per records I obtained. “It’s like rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat,”said Durell Parker, who lives at one of them. “They never have anywhere for anybody to go.”

Rhode Island’s Access to Public Records Act is the law that gives anyone the right to obtain public records. It hasn’t been updated in more than a decade, but some state lawmakers hope that’s about to change.

BREAKING: An #Illinois bill backed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker would require a lawyer for kids under 18 during a #police interrogation — after a @WBEZ lawsuit won release of a video showing a suburban detective extracting a teen’s false confession to a shooting. wbez.org/stories/lawyers-for…
A love letter to my favorite RI restaurant, now closed, and to the old-time jam they hosted there 💛 #HunkyDory #rhodeislandfood #oldtimemusic
New from Artscape: Less than three years after opening, Hunky Dory in Warren has closed. The restaurant was known for its unique approach to Southern-inspired food – but it was also home to a community of folk musicians.

RI’s housing crisis is especially acute in rural communities. They’ve had decades to meet the state’s requirements for low and moderate income housing, but many are far from reaching those goals. One exception is Burrillville.

RI is home to a lot of short-term rentals. Opponents say contribute to the housing shortage. We hear from the chair of a new State House commission that’s looking at the impact of these rentals on local communities.
This and more on The Weekly Catch!

So glad to work at @ThePublicsRadio, a news organization that doesn't just drop a big investigation and *leave.* We're here, and we will be here.
I'm personally grateful to our members, whose support we need to keep this community focus at our heart. 7/7

So often immigration issues are presented in black and white. This story is very much not that.
Listen to the story of a young woman who arrived here as an unaccompanied minor who both wants to attend school and find work to help her family. 6/

Many underage workers we've spoken to use fake IDs to get their jobs, so it remains to be seen how a new law outlawing them from working in seafood processing would change things on the ground. But it could clarify things for regulators and/or law enforcement. 5/

And there's news: A Mass state rep says he plans to introduce a bill that would outlaw 16- and 17-year-olds from working in seafood processing. (Federal child labor laws already prevent teens under 16 from working these jobs). 4/

Immigration advocates, and many Massachusetts politicians, are pushing for an easier path to temporary work permits. That could help young migrants like Alondra find a legal job. For now, she's stuck in a kind of limbo. 3/

We spoke to Alondra, a 16-year-old from Guatemala who quit her job to go to school after she was contacted by "someone from the government." Now she's not legally allowed to work, but the $5,000 debt she paid to travel here comes due in February. 2/

Remember our @ThePublicsRadio investigation that revealed underage migrant workers have worked in seafood processing factories in New Bedford?
Well, what happens when those workers lose their jobs? We went back to find out. 1/
