So Letitia James is a “criminal” but George Santos is just a “rebel” who was mistreated?

I'll be doing an (atypically-timed!) Rachel Maddow Show tonight -- Friday night -- at 8PM Eastern on MSNBC.

Then right after, at 9PM, it's the premier of our new documentary: "Andrew Young: The Dirty Work"...

See you then!

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.

South Koreans held their government accountable earlier this year. And now they’re protesting for American’s rights and democracy on No Kings too!

Thank you South Korea! #NoKings ❌👑

I’m super looking forward to white people flooding the streets tomorrow.

I have no faith in you but prove me wrong.

Then stop voting for people who want to destroy civil rights. Thanks.
