Эксперты уже давно предупреждают, что иммиграционные сети и эрозия гражданских прав иммигрантов неизбежно приведут к эрозии прав граждан.

“I’m a U.S. citizen, please help me.»
Женщину в третий раз заключили в тюрьму в Ки-Ларго, штат Флорида, за то, что она управляла автомобилем, зарегистрированным на ее партнера, иммигранта.

The Trump administration says none of this is happening.
“DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake.” “There are no ‘indiscriminate’ stops.” Allegations of “racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE.” “The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force.” “ICE does not zip tie or restrain children.”
But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.
We know because we have once again done what the government hasn’t:
We have tallied and cataloged every case we can find of an immigration agent holding a citizen during the current [0–>administration.
More than 500 cases. That includes:
More than a hundred Americans held after agents questioned their citizenship. Nearly all were people of color.
At least 70 American children and teens detained, some of whom were handcuffed.
Of the more than 300 Americans we tracked as detained for allegedly assaulting or obstructing agents, we found fewer than half were actually charged in federal court, and many of those cases were dropped or dismissed.
At least 63 Americans detained while recording.
36 Americans held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or their family.
Roughly a dozen citizens deported, mostly children.
Collectively, these cases show that as the administration has relentlessly pursued immigrants, federal agents have run roughshod over the constitutional rights of citizens too.
We’re showing you every case — the reality that the administration denies — along with the receipts.

A Southern California enforcement operation starts on June 6

Operation Midway Blitz starts on Sept. 8 in Illinois

Operation Metro Surge starts on Dec. 1 in the Minnesota
In January 2025, agents held a 21-year-old citizen at gunpoint and put him in handcuffs during a raid at the Philadelphia car wash where he worked.
In April, a 20-year-old was held in a Florida jail for more than 24 hours, despite having proof of his citizenship.
In June, a dual citizen of Mexico and the U.S. was detained while working in California. He was held for four days without access to a lawyer or his family.
During the enforcement surge in Chicago last fall, known as Operation Midway Blitz, there were “no administrative arrests of U.S. citizens,” according to the Department of Homeland Security. “ICE has significant protections in place to ensure U.S. citizens are not arrested, detained, or mistakenly removed.” But we found that federal agents detained more than 120 citizens in Illinois during the height of the surge.
In November, agents took an 18-year-old citizen off the street, eventually dumping him in the woods.
In December, an American in Baltimore was picked up and held for 25 days, unable to see her 5-year-old son over Christmas.
In January, hours after Renee Good’s killing, agents tackled and handcuffed a school staffer in Minneapolis. He was terrified, he recalled: “I feel lucky to be alive.”
In April, when agents stopped a man in Texas, he told them, “I’m a citizen, it’s fine.” He was deported four days later.
In May, a New York teen was thrown to the ground, bloodied and then dumped in an unfamiliar neighborhood. “He just grabbed me and threw me on the floor,” the teen recalled.
In September, agents detained and injured an Illinois man they thought was someone else.
We shared details and footage of many of the incidents with former immigration officials. They reacted with anger and disbelief.
“This is just terrible,” said Eric Balliet, who spent more than two decades at Homeland Security Investigations and Border Patrol, both agencies under DHS, including in President Donald Trump’s first administration.
“I’ve never seen so many U.S. citizen encounters in all my years,” said Darius Reeves, who oversaw the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency’s Baltimore office before retiring last year. “It’s an embarrassment.”
In tallying these detentions, we included anyone who authorities held against their will for any period of time — whether they were handcuffed, held at gunpoint or otherwise prevented from leaving by immigration agents. The courts consider someone detained if they aren’t free to leave.
Immigration agents do have authority to detain Americans in limited circumstances: if they can reasonably suspect they are in the country illegally, or if they allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers.
ProPublica shared its findings and information on each case with DHS. The department defended agents’ conduct. “DHS enforcement operations are highly targeted. We do our due diligence,” the agency said in a statement. It added that anyone who obstructs agents “will of course face consequences which include arrest.”
We compiled our list by scouring social media, court records and local media to confirm and compile incidents.
Our work doesn’t include all of agents’ problematic interactions with citizens. We didn’t count incidents where, say, an agent shot but didn’t detain a citizen. And as with the tally we did last year, the new list is an undercount. For instance, witnesses estimate that more than 200 citizens were detained in an Idaho raid last fall, but we only included the 30 citizens who we were able to identify.
Willy Wender Aceituno, a naturalized citizen who voted for Trump twice, said he never imagined that the immigration crackdown he supported would entangle him.
Then, last November, Border Patrol agents broke his truck window, yanked Aceituno out and threw him onto the pavement of a parking lot, where one agent knelt on his back. (DHS says he “refused to comply” with agents’ commands.)
“ICE isn’t looking for criminals,” Aceituno said. “They’re looking for Latinos. Having papers in this country does not protect you.”
“Upon Probable Cause”
Under the Fourth Amendment, law enforcement generally must have probable cause to arrest someone. But there’s a lower bar, reasonable suspicion, for stopping someone to question them.
The Trump administration has repeatedly said its agents are just questioning citizens, not detaining them — even when they’re in handcuffs or held for hours. DHS also cites a concurring opinion issued last year by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh stating that agents can consider factors like “apparent ethnicity” when making stops. Citizens around the country have been detained because, they’ve said, of their skin color, accents or jobs.
Асейтуно заявил, что после ареста в ноябре его сын, родившийся в США, носил с собой паспорт в колледж. «У нее латиноамериканское лицо», — сказал он, добавив: «Белые друзья моей дочери не берут с собой паспорта».
“Secure in Their Persons, Houses, Papers and Effects”
The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution also prohibits officers from entering homes without a judge’s warrant.
An ICE memo revealed by a whistleblower this year showed that agents had been doing it anyway. The agency asserted that administrative warrants that didn’t involve a judge gave agents the ostensible authority to force their way into homes looking for someone with a final deportation order. Some of those incidents have also resulted in Americans being detained.
В январе Джейли Сальгеро, ее родители и сестра спали дома, когда вооруженные федеральные агенты ворвались в дверь и ворвались внутрь.
«Первое, что я крикнул, выйдя из своей комнаты, было то, что я гражданин Соединенных Штатов и имею право на запись», — вспоминает Сальгеро. «Именно тогда они украли мой телефон».
Агенты сообщили семье Сальгеро, что ищут его брата, который там не жил. Через полчаса агенты отпустили Сальгеро и его мать, но задержали его отца, имеющего временный защищенный статус, и его сестру, у которой нет документов. В конце концов сестру депортировали в Сальвадор, а ее отца позже выпустили из тюрьмы.
Сальгеро рассказал нам, что агенты оставили его и его мать одних в их разрушенном доме, а зимний воздух Миннеаполиса проникал через сломанную дверь.
Сальгеро — один из нескольких истцов, подавших иск против правительства за проникновение в дома без судебного ордера. DHS решил отклонить иск, заявив, что оно «приостановило» действие полиса.
“Against Unreasonable Searches and Seizures”
The Fourth Amendment is also intended to protect people from “unreasonable” use of force during arrests. Previously, we’ve documented how agents have used chokeholds that DHS banned other than when deadly force is authorized. We’ve also documented how immigration agents have broken car windows while pursuing people they believe are in the country illegally. But they’ve been doing it to citizens, too. Many of those citizens have filed lawsuits.
Даррен Эйхлер работал на христианском кладбище в пригороде Чикаго в октябре прошлого года, когда он и его коллеги переехали, чтобы помочь мужчине пересечь близлежащую реку. Вскоре они поняли – слишком поздно – что мужчина убегал от иммиграционных агентов, которые вышли из кустов у реки и потребовали доступа на огороженную территорию кладбища. Когда мужчины отказались и начали снимать, агенты открыли ворота болторезами, затем запустили перцовые шарики и схватили мужчин.
Эйхлер сказала, что у нее было такое ощущение, будто ее лицо горело, и ей было трудно дышать. «Я умоляла их на час вызвать скорую помощь». Эйхлер рассказал ProPublica. В конце концов его доставили в больницу, все еще в наручниках, а агенты стояли над его кроватью. Коллег Эйхлера продержали несколько часов в соседнем федеральном офисе. Никто не был обвинен.
DHS не ответило на запрос ProPublica о комментариях по поводу инцидента.
“The Right of the People Peaceably to Assemble”
The First Amendment protects protesters and those documenting agents’ conduct. The amendment guarantees the freedom to assemble — in other words, to protest peacefully — and the freedom of speech, which courts have interpreted to include recording in public.
The Trump administration has, however, aggressively pursued the arrest and prosecution of citizens who were protesting, often claiming the protesters were assaulting officers or interfering with enforcement activities. We counted more than 300 people accused of assaulting or obstructing officers, about 130 of them at protests.
Top DHS officials, including former Secretary Kristi Noem, went further, claiming that filming ICE agents was interfering with arrests. Last summer, three siblings driving in Texas were detained after they stopped to film an immigration arrest. One of the siblings was a young teen. “They tackled me down and an agent put one knee behind my knee, where I felt a sharp pain,” he told ProPublica. He was separated from his mother, who has a green card. “They were saying my mom wasn’t a U.S. citizen, and I was scared they were gonna take her away.”
The siblings have filed claims for damages with the government. Asked about the incident, DHS said it respects “the First Amendment rights of individuals to observe and express themselves. However, if such actions interfere with or obstruct our operations, ICE will take necessary steps to address the situation.”
Наш обзор выявил случаи, когда некоторые протестующие или другие гражданские лица нападали на офицеров. Один человек признал себя виновным в том, что бросил в агента куски шлакоблока. Жительница Калифорнии признала себя виновной в том, что сняла маску с офицера.
Многих протестующих обвиняли в преступлениях, но им так и не предъявили обвинение. Мы обнаружили 137 случаев, когда гражданам были предъявлены обвинения в федеральных преступлениях, большинство из них были обвинены в нападении на федеральных агентов или препятствовании им. Примерно в половине этих случаев обвинения были сняты или отклонены. По состоянию на 15 сентября три десятка граждан были приговорены к тюремному заключению или условному наказанию, еще три десятка дел находились на рассмотрении.
Некоторым из арестованных, например, кларнетистке Ориане Король, сначала было предъявлено обвинение в нападении, а затем они признали себя виновными в совершении правонарушения — в случае Короля, в попытке ударить офицера ногой. Он сказал, что сделал это после того, как полицейские толкнули его и дважды распылили перцовый баллончик в лицо. Несколькими минутами ранее группа играла заглавную песню «Охотники за привидениями» в рамках мирной акции протеста.
На видеозаписи видно, как агенты уводят Корола в наручниках, а один из них натягивает ему на рот пропитанную слезоточивым газом маску. «Пожалуйста, снимите его», — сказал Король агентам на видео. «У меня будет приступ астмы. У меня астма. Почему ты так со мной поступаешь? Пожалуйста».
Unlike earlier administrations, Trump has detained significant numbers of immigrant children living far from the border. Citizen kids have been swept up too — at least 70 of them. We’ve found about 20 kids who were handcuffed or zip-tied.
DHS said that ICE doesn’t zip-tie or restrain children, or separate families. But agents handcuffed a 15-year-old with disabilities outside a school in Los Angeles in 2025. The agents said they mistook the teen for an alleged gang member. A few months later, officers detained more than a dozen American children during a raid on an Idaho horse track. Anabel Romero said her children are still deeply shaken by their detention.
Romero told us how her 7-year-old son warned his older sister about going to another race this month: “He said, ‘Watch out for ICE, make sure you have your phone to film — I’ll come save you.’”
“Without Due Process of Law”
As the government has rushed to deport people as quickly as possible, Americans have also been swept up and removed from the country too. About a dozen American kids have been deported with their parents, allegedly over their parents’ objections.
DHS said: “Parents are asked if they want to be removed with their children or ICE will place the children with a safe person the parent designates.”
One American adult in Texas was also deported this spring.
The car Brian Morales Garcia was in was pulled over earlier this year in central Texas. Officers didn’t believe him when he said he was a citizen. And they wouldn’t let him get his birth certificate. Morales Garcia was held for four days without being able to call his lawyer or anyone else. Then he was deported to Mexico.
After suing, Morales Garcia was allowed back into the country just last month using his birth certificate.
DHS did not respond to ProPublica’s questions about Morales Garcia’s deportation. In earlier court filings, officials disputed Morales Garcia’s citizenship and claimed he had admitted to being born in Mexico.
“I couldn’t process what they were doing to me.” Morales Garcia told ProPublica. When he was first stopped in Texas, he had told officers, “I’m a citizen, it’s fine.”
