Gabriel Sandoval

I’m a research reporter based in Phoenix.

Have a Tip for a Story?

I am interested in tips on anything related to immigration, the American Southwest and the U.S.-Mexico border.

What I Cover

I cover a variety of local and regional issues, as well as immigration.

My Background

I collaborate with colleagues at ProPublica and partner newsrooms through the Local Reporting Network. I’ve contributed to several local and national investigations, including on the Trump administration’s deportation and imprisonment of Venezuelans in El Salvador, Los Angeles’ failure to preserve residential hotels as affordable housing and Virginia universities uprooting Black residents for campus expansions. The latter project, a collaboration between ProPublica and Virginia Center for Investigative Journalism at WHRO, won the Education Writers Association’s Hechinger Prize, among other honors.

Prior to ProPublica, I was a reporter at The Associated Press and The City, a local news nonprofit that covers New York City.

I am a graduate of the City University of New York’s Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, where I studied business and economics reporting.
