A female informant on an undercover drug buy was allegedly raped in this Alexandria, La., house, shown Sept. 8, 2022, while her law enforcement handlers left her unmonitored in January 2021. The ranking officer in the operation, recently retired, told AP: “We’ve always done it this way. She was an addict and we just used her as an informant like we’ve done a million times before. Looking back, it’s easy to say, ‘What if?’” (AP Photo / Gerald Herbert)

Rodney runs MOMCares, a Baltimore organization that provides baby supplies and support to new mothers in the city’s Black community. The baby formula shortage has hit the local Black community hard, she says, because formula feeding is typically more common among Black women — often because they don’t get breastfeeding encouragement or support from the white medical community.
