The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. 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. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Incarcerated women report rampant sexual abuse by guards and the guards retaliate by spraying them with chemical agents and sending them to the hospital as a warning. Rape culture and brazen misogyny from the highest institution to the lowest.

The Trump regime wants to continue its immigration terror campaign as quietly as possible and members of the media should not let that happen. Here's what Frank Russo, Customs and Border Protection director of field operations for New York said at a press conference early this year.
The operation worked well because the public did not know about it, he said.

“The best thing about this operation is that it was done the way law enforcement loves to do it. Quietly, discreetly, behind the scenes, often under the cover of darkness. And what that did is it allowed our officers and agents to go out there to conduct surveillance to do intel-gathering operations and to arrest these individuals without any interruptions and without an impact to civilians,” Russo said. “That’s the way it’s supposed to be done.”

"Troubled past" you say? *opens Wikipedia, looks for controversies section*
Child abuse scandal
In November 2017, as part of its larger mandate, the national Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) undertook an investigation into the prevalence of paedophilia in the English Benedictine Congregation and its failures in protecting young people over many decades, focusing on the abbeys of Downside in Somerset, Ealing in London and Ampleforth in North Yorkshire. The final report outlined a series of failures at Ampleforth but also noted the ongoing efforts of both the Abbey and College to address the safeguarding concerns.[18] It found credible allegations of physical, emotional and sexual abuse perpetrated by monks and lay members of Ampleforth. In addition safeguarding concerns were noted about some monks relating to grooming, inappropriate touching and pornography addiction. The Ampleforth monks named in the report included: Piers Grant-Ferris, Gregory Carroll, Bernard Green (deceased 2013) and a number of unidentified monks referred to as RC-F3, RC-F8, RC-F27, RC-F16, RC-F18, RC-F91 and RC-F95.[19]

Abbot Christopher Jamison, then newly elected President of the English Benedictine Congregation, welcomed the report, apologising for the abuse and the congregation's failure to address it and urging other victims to come forward.[20] Piers Grant-Ferris was convicted in 2006 of twenty counts of indecent assault.[21] Peter Turner, formerly known as Gregory Carroll, was jailed for more than 20 years for his offences of child abuse.[22]
