As the Trump administration has relentlessly pursued immigrants, federal agents have run roughshod over the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens. We’re showing you every incident we’ve confirmed — along with the receipts: propub.li/3TBuddL
500+ U.S. citizens detained since the start of the second Trump administration. 100+ U.S. citizens held after agents questioned their citizenship. Nearly all of them were people of color. At least 70 American children and teens detained, some of whom were handcuffed. 36 U.S. citizens held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or family.

It's deeply irresponsible to treat anything Trump says as credible. He's flailing and desperate to save face, and he knows he can lie because the corporate media will dutifully parrot his words and spread his propaganda. There's a good chance Zelenskyy has no idea what the hell he's talking about.
