I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.

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.

The next few months matter enormously. Political decisions taken now could lock Britain into a slightly softer Brexit for years — or open the road back to Europe. We should be clear about the minimum we want: Freedom of Movement of goods, services, people and capital.
