WEAR A MASK PLEASE 🙏🏼

It is literally community care at this point because the Pandemic never ended, one third of the population has Long Covid, they are criminalizing school absence and homelessness and taking away COVID days at jobs. Know what else? Prison = free labor basically.

At the South Portland ICE facility, after pushing back the crowd to let some vehicles leave, agents gassed the street for approximately 10 minutes solid. S Bancroft was opaque with gas; agents also threw flash grenades and shot pepper bullets.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Since the enhanced premium tax credits were introduced in 2021, the number of people who receive health coverage through the ACA Marketplaces has more than doubled.

Learn more about who relies on coverage through the ACA ⤵️

KFF graphic titled “Who Relies on Affordable Care Act Marketplace Coverage?” The graphic shows Nearly 1 in 5 (18%) Marketplace enrollees who purchase insurance via HealthCare.gov live in rural counties; At least 1 in 4 (27%) farmers, ranchers, and agricultural managers have individual coverage, mostly through ACA Marketplaces; and About half of adults under 65 with individual coverage (48%; mostly via ACA Marketplaces) are small business owners, employees, or self-employed. Below that section, the graphic highlights that more than 90% of enrollees in the individual market get their coverage via ACA Marketplaces, and of those enrollees, 93% receive a tax credit to lower the monthly cost of their premiums.
