A recent report from ProPublica Department of Homeland Security spokesperson that “we don’t arrest U.S. citizens for immigration enforcement.” The facts on the ground tell a very different tale.

ProPublica’s report chronicled a series of ICE arrests that would be hard to believe if they weren’t backed by official complaints and eyewitnesses. In one, masked agents pointed a gun at, pepper-sprayed, and punched a young man whose only offense was filming them as they searched for his relative. In another, they tackled a 79-year-old car-wash owner, pressing their knees into his neck and back. The man, who had just undergone heart surgery, was left with broken ribs and was denied medical attention for 12 hours. In a third case, agents handcuffed a woman on her way to work and held her for more than two days—without any contact with the outside world.

A government that flouts the Fourth Amendment and then lies about it to courts and the people has crossed a moral and legal frontier.
