Then, two officers came to his home and said he was “obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation."

🧵 It’s the 100th day of Trump 2.0, so here are 100 times Trump and those close to him have attacked press freedom and transparency.
That doesn’t mean they’re only averaging one per day – we had to make cuts. There will probably be more attacks while we’re posting this.
