José Olivares
Bilingual Investigative Journalist
ABOUT ME:
I am an award-winning bilingual investigative journalist and audio producer currently based in New York. My work focuses on immigration, Latin America, and human rights.
By relying on sources, exclusive documents, audio and video, I expose wrongdoing, abuse and secretive operations by powerful government agencies and private companies.
I have received awards and recognition for my investigative work on secretive immigration jails in the U.S. Some of my reporting has exposed the use of solitary confinement and force-feeding, allegations of physical abuse and sexual assault, and the private companies profiting from immigration detention.
My work has been published by The Guardian, The Intercept, NPR, Drop Site News, The Appeal, Business Insider, and others. I have appeared on Democracy Now!, NPR, Radio Formula, Univision, and multiple international outlets to discuss my reporting. I have guest-taught students at the graduate, undergraduate, and high-school levels.
I am originally from Mexico City and am currently based in New York. I hold degrees in Journalism and Sociology from the University of Nevada, Reno.
