Trump's Shadowy Federal Police Force
Trump's DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights protections, allowing agents to remain anonymous and wear masks, while also threatening groups that oppose them.
ProPublica, a nonprofit newsroom, investigates abuses of power and reports on the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
- ICE officers stormed through Santa Ana, California, in June, causing panic among residents.
- Recordings of emergency calls obtained by ProPublica capture the terror felt by residents as they watched masked men ambush people and force them into unmarked cars.
- The men wore plain clothes and refused to identify themselves, making it impossible to confirm whether they were genuine immigration agents or imposters.
