I’m writing a book about the devastating 2025 L.A. fires, which I covered in real time as I watched my childhood neighborhood burn to the ground. Firestorm: The Great Los Angeles Fires and America’s New Age of Disaster will be released January 6, 2026. https://t.co/2xDIAY4IUv

Nory Sontay Ramos was a thriving high school student in L.A. until she and her mom were deported by the Trump admin in July. For @MSNBC, we visited her in Guatemala as she tries to graduate remotely while hiding from the same gang they fled years ago.

Nory and her mother were following the rules. But as MSNBC reports from L.A. and Guatemala, U.S. officials deported them anyway — throwing their futures into jeopardy.

an @lataco x @msnbc crossover is something I've been wanting to make happen for months. so much respect for the work @el_tragon_de_la and the team have been doing all summer documenting the ICE raids in L.A. -- honored to have him on @11thHour while I’m in for @SRuhle this week.

I'm back. I came home to MSNBC because there's no other place like it -- a space to listen to other people, share their stories, and learn from them.
