14/ We sifted through social media, DHS statements, court records and local reports to find cases where citizens were held against their will for any amount of time. The courts consider someone detained if they aren’t free to leave. Full methodology: propub.li/4yoIKb7
How We Counted Incidents
We found and vetted cases from a number of sources, including English- and Spanish-language social media, DHS statements, court records and local news reports, in addition to our own reporting. We included an incident in our dataset only if we could find at least two sources for it. For additional details about the incident, like whether crowd control weapons were used, we accepted one source in some cases.

When DHS provided a response specific to an incident — including about whether it happened or the circumstances under which it happened — we noted that response in cases for which we offered detail beyond a simple count of detained citizens. DHS responses that generically denied ever detaining citizens or that are proven inaccurate by our reporting were not included.As with our count a year ago, most of the detained Americans on our list fell into two broad categories. The first is Americans who were held because agents questioned their citizenship. This time, we found more than a hundred such cases. The second category is Americans arrested by immigration agents after being accused of assaulting or impeding officers at protests or during immigration arrests of others. In that category, we tallied roughly 300 Americans. In many of these cases, the government accused but never charged these individuals with assault. Sometimes agents detained people because of questions about their citizenship but later accused them of crimes. While public attention often focuses on ICE, the immigration dragnet often relied on officers from agencies across the government.

Since the government itself does not track these cases, our list is almost certainly an undercount...

The White House press bans aren’t about ethics in journalism. They're about what Trump wants from the press: servile propaganda that parrots only what he and his allies say about his administration.

Fox News is committed to pushing the "worst of the worst" myth as a way to frame Trump's deportation operations as about public safety rather than what they really are -- an attempt to maintain structures of white supremacy through ethnic cleansing

Fox News has spent almost two years claiming Trump’s deportations are targeting “the worst of the worst.” The administration just contradicted that narrative.

and let's not forget that most of these claims can be verified--that is, it's often a simple matter to determine which is correct, the coverage or the President. And the President's record of being right is not good. They are disputes about freedom, but also about fact.
