Democrat Bernadette Greene-Placentia's candidate for Congressional District 8 strolled across a parking lot to repair a damaged campaign sign. This time, she only made it a few yards. An attacker smashed her over the head. She blacked out. She woke up to find a strange man on top of her.

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.
The Trump administration says none of this is happening. 

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children." 

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.
