More Than 500 US Citizens Detained in Immigration Crackdown
Original: Federal Agents Have Detained More Than 500 American Citizens in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown
Federal immigration agents have detained more than 500 American citizens during the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, according to a ProPublica investigation. Because the government does not track detentions of US citizens, the outlet compiled its own count, finding hundreds of Americans held against their will. The findings are drawing attention to the lack of safeguards and accountability in immigration enforcement.
Why now: A new investigation documents large-scale wrongful detention of US citizens, a striking claim amid ongoing debate over Trump's immigration policies.
