We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount.

Elizabeth Sacha Baroness Cohen @alixabeth.bsky.social · 06/10/2026This book came out 2 weeks before we realized that a pandemic was unfolding. It was not the time to be asking people to rethink immigration enforcement. But I still think daily about how we had a window when maybe we could have done it. 1192
