In 2013, he was part of a team at the Minneapolis Star Tribune awarded a Pulitzer for a series that exposed widespread safety failures that had been harming infants and children in Minnesota’s daycare system.

December 1, 2021 Atlanta - Asya Morgan (left) and Ali Abdulrab talk in front of the mural of the murder victim Abdulrab's sister, Mariam, on Wylie Street near the Krog Street tunnel on Wednesday, December 1, 2021. Ali Abdulrab and Asya Morgan have become activists seeking to strengthen the way the state oversees sex offenders. This comes in the wake of the murder of Abdulrab's sister, Mariam, over the summer. She was a bartender who was abducted in front of her southeast Atlanta home and shot and killed. Her accused killer is Demarcus Binkley, a convicted sex offender who was out on probation.
