The government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve tallied more than 500 Americans held against their will in warrantless arrests and detentions during President Trump’s second term.

Last month, authorities evicted 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal, 87 on a stretcher from her apartment of more than 70 years because she couldn't afford rent increases—sparking protests across Spain. Now she has passed away. Honor the dead and fight like hell for the living. Smash gentrification. 🏴
