Since our story published, we’ve been flooded with more of these stories. But we know there’s more out there, because our list is definitely an undercount. If you have a tip, contact me on Signal at nicolefoy.27 or email [email protected].

“Enforcement operations are highly targeted. We do our due diligence,” DHS said in a statement. It added that anyone who obstructs agents “will of course face consequences which include arrest.”

We provided the DHS an opportunity to respond to the videos we included in our database and shared our findings & info on each case. Once again, the agency defended their agents’ conduct.

That last video was Quentin Williams, a teaching assistant who who was filmed being detained on the grounds of Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis in January. This is Alderperson Jessie Fuentes who was filmed being detained in a hospital in her district in Chicago last October

Many of the citizen arrests highlighted in our story contradict other recent claims by top officials Border Czar Tom Homan has repeatedly challenged media to provide examples of ICE arrests at sensitive locations like schools, hospitals & churches We even found CITIZENS arrested there

“The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force," DHS said when I asked about mounting excessive force claims filed by citizens. "It’s a pattern of violent agitators attacking our law enforcement." But search our database for something like "crowd-control weapons" used & watch the opposite

First thing to learn about compiling a list like this: It's hard to quote DHS statements. We strive to fairly represent all sides, but can't repeat false info How do you parse "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children" with photos/videos of agents (some ICE, some other agencies) doing so?

I don’t really know how to process publishing this and then two days later ICE shoots someone in my actual neighborhood Uptown has seen a sudden uptick in ICE activity since the summer ( + a citizen pepper sprayed in August) but this “quiet summer surge” is getting very loud

If you’ve ever read The Deportation Machine by Adam Goodman, you know how this went last time we did this

So I edited this story. And I wanna share on thought on language, & telling the truth We talked about: the "government is lying to you" It may sound saucy. It may sound like opinion But it's just true And if something is true then you should just say it, clearly That's just good journalism
