12/ We spent months compiling every case we could find of immigration agents detaining Americans. We did it because the government hasn't. And now, we're sharing every one of those cases with you. Explore our database: propub.li/4egbSK2
Screenshot of database titled "Explore All Incidents Where Citizens Were Detained." Text below explains that this is every incident ProPublica could find in which one or more citizens were reportedly detained between January 2025 and September 2026. There are 506 citizens' cases in the database, and users can sort by what the incidents involve, where the incident is located, and the recency of the case.

Here‘s your reminder that Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home early so they wouldn’t have to vote on Pete Hegseth’s impeachment before the midterms. Republicans were terrified that they’d have to face voters and explain why they were covering for a racist, sexist, war-losing piece of crap.
