Looking for new posts…
When missing a hearing can mean deportation, and yet "Immigrants were notified about the change in location within days of the newly scheduled appointments — or were not notified at all, in at least two cases identified by NPR."

NEW INVESTIGATION: My colleague
@stjbs and I spent months reporting on how ICE has failed to pay medical providers for detainee care since last October, causing what the agency called an "absolute emergency" and, by its own admission, endangering lives.

@nicoleMfoy @propublica We’re not shutting down mass deportations because every once in a while a legal resident hanging around illegals is detained for 30 mins while an investigation takes place. That’s liberal logic and it’s the meme. Your reckless border policies created this.

In a Sept. concurrence Justice Kavanaugh said citizens stopped in sweeps could “promptly” prove their citizenship
That idealized interaction w/ immigration simply isn't what many citizens experienced. More stories in Chicago broke as we prepped to publish https://t.co/4fisjc1tet

We asked the government about all of this, of course.
Their recent response to our story largely matches what they told me for months. https://t.co/8BX9wa1XfE

Leo Garcia Venegas was even accused of obstructing agents – after the video of his first detainment at an Alabama construction site went viral
A DHS spokesperson later said he “physically got in between agents” and his brother, whose arrest he was filming.

Americans have appeared in court for offenses like injuring an officer’s thumb, using a trash can to block CBP cars, resisting arrest
We found 50+ cases that fell apart in court, or were never charged at all https://t.co/NpTr5BmtUV

Some assault charges are serious. Throwing rocks at cars. Arson. Threatening officers with a knife
But many are… less so
Here’s a video of Andrea Velez, an LA woman accused of an assault that wasn’t caught on video. A judge eventually dismissed her case. https://t.co/c37ADs4DrQ

Why include protesters or assault charges in this? It can be unclear why agents detained a citizen, especially if they later accused them of crimes
Immigration agents are also sweeping cities in ways feds often don't
And the "protesters" arrested sometimes disappeared for days

The cases were piling up so quickly that I started using a detailed spreadsheet
I noticed: Agents weren’t just stopping people to question citizenship. They were being taken at protests or after accusations of assaulting/obstructing officers during raids

So I started scouring the internet. Social media, court docs & local news, in Spanish & English
It was hardly scientific. But I found senior citizens tackled. Pregnant women handcuffed. Kids detained. A veteran pulled out of his car on the way to work
The videos were everywhere

First, a bit of backstory. This spring, I started tracking the times immigration agents detained American citizens
I spoke to experts who warned that the scattered cases I initially found would only grow as Trump's aggressive deportation plans took shape

🧵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. https://t.co/lmp0bSgRVH

“You are not welcome here!” Bystanders filmed the moment Debbie Brockman, a Chicago TV station employee, was held face down on the ground and detained by Border Patrol agents. https://t.co/shcCKI1guX
