NEW: The government doesn’t track how often immigration officers detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did.
We’ve found more than 500 Americans who were held against their will during this Trump administration.

"We’ve found more than 500 Americans who were held against their will during this #Trump admin..."
And we (the #US #Government) owe each one of them $1M and an official #apology. There are ample funds in the #ICE budget. 🤑
just like the longstanding horrors of VA healthcare, ProPublica is only interested in these atrocities for the purpose of decontextualizing them into anomalies associated with the Trump Administration.
there have been many U.S. citizens detained and even deported over the past 25 years and likely even before then. every administration since the emergence of the neoliberal era has not only failed to prevent it from happening, but made it much easier for them to do to us while leaving us with few to no options for recourse.
@ProPublica@newsie.social This looks like an interesting story that I would like to read but your godawful web design prevents me from reading it.
