Bipartisan language in the newly introduced Senate version of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2022 would give expanded powers to state and local prosecutors to pursue domestic abusers who possess firearms illegally.

🧵 Here’s how: revealnews.org/article/how-th…
A 2021 Reveal investigation found that domestic violence gun homicides surged 58% over the last decade.

Many of those victims were killed by abusers who were prohibited from having guns. revealnews.org/article/gun-la…

Texas Deputy Patrick Divers won’t be disciplined for tasing an unarmed refugee child at a migrant children’s shelter.

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office has provided a series of contradictory and confusing statements about its investigation into the deputy.revealnews.org/article/texas-…
The tasing took place at Southwest Key Casa Blanca, a government-sponsored shelter in San Antonio, in 2020.

The incident only became publicly known more than a year later after Reveal obtained the footage through a public records request and published it. revealnews.org/article/im-goi…
In December, the department told us that Divers had returned to work, but that the investigation was ongoing.

A month later, we were told the investigation into Divers had actually concluded in July.

In the end, Divers’ administrative leave was only 10 days — and it was paid. May 2020: Deputy Divers tases the unarmed refugee child. Ju

UPDATE: In June, we published bodycam footage of a Texas sheriff’s deputy, Patrick Divers, tasing an unarmed refugee child at a shelter for migrant children.

We’ve learned that Divers won’t be disciplined. revealnews.org/article/texas-…
Divers tased the refugee child, a 16-year-old boy, for 35 seconds.

The incident originally took place in May 2020 and only became publicly known more than a year later after Reveal obtained the footage through a public records request and published it.
The footage shows Divers arrived at the government-sponsored shelter in San Antonio after staff called 911 because the boy refused to go to class and allegedly broke some bed frames and bins.

Divers did not request evidence of the child’s alleged wrongdoing before tasing him. Bexar County Sheriff’s Deputy Patrick Divers outside a gov
