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.

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

Steven Miller still thinks if you tell a lie enough times we'll believe it. Works for #Mouthbreathers, not so much for us. I just blocked all these govt pretenders and you should too.

Pritzker's here. Right in the middle of the crowd carrying the lead banner. Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton too.

The DHS narrative about what happened the day they ICE agents killed Villegas González has continued to fall apart.

This was our initial report the day after they shot and killed him.

What happened to Silverio Villegas González

Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

Less than 24 hours after federal agents intentionally plowed into an SUV and tear-gassed a crowd in a residential neighborhood on the Southeast Side, community organizers presented a clear message.

Southeast Side organizers after feds ram SUV and tear-gas crowd: 'Leave our city, you are not welcome here'

Federal agents rammed an SUV, then used pepper balls, smoke grenades and deployed several rounds of tear gas in Tuesday's incident.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

I'm sure they'll bring out the Blackhawks to hover over protesters in Chicago. Just like doing fly-overs when the Epstein victims were holding a press conference.

Birds of a feather. Argentina is where the Nazis sought refuge after Germany was defeated in WW2. Maybe they're greasing the skids for American Nazis to go there too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiRo...
