In October, reporter Andrew Schwartz obtained confidential documents revealing what was happening inside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility while protesters massed outside.

More than 74,000 people read that story. You can learn more about it here—and below you’ll find more than a dozen other stories that drew traffic this year.
