Border Patrol and ICE Agents Are Arresting U.S. Citizens in Immigration Raids
Capital & Main has documented nine Americans who have been held in federal custody after observing or protesting immigration raids.

Since federal agents descended onto Los Angeles streets in early June, several United States citizens have been detained and held in immigration detention centers. A Capital & Main review of local reporting, video and social media posts found at least nine citizens were taken into custody by agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or U.S. Customs and Border Protection after protesting near or observing immigration raids in the Los Angeles area since June 6. Two are currently facing federal charges.
As more citizens are swept up in immigration raids, Democrats demand answers
- A group of 49 Democratic U.S. senators and representatives are demanding the Department of Homeland of Security release details on the arrests, detainment of U.S. citizens caught up in its immigration sweeps.
American citizens have been increasingly caught up in the immigration crackdown: a 4-year-old boy with cancer deported to Honduras, a doctoral student filming a raid in Hollywood detained for 25 hours, an Illinois man held for 10 hours in detention.
Increasingly frustrated that the aggressive tactics are sweeping up American citizens, Democratic members of Congress have been pressing for a full accounting of the citizens detained.
On Friday morning 49 Congress members, led by Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), and Reps. Lou Correa (D-Santa Ana) and Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.), sent letters to the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General Joseph V. Cuffari and two other immigration oversight offices asking them to open an investigation into encounters with American citizens and “determine whether DHS is violating Americans’ civil rights.”
SADLY, WE CAN FIND MANY MORE EXAMPLES OF ILLEGAL AND VIOLENT ATTACKS ON CITIZENS AND PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ATTACK, WHO ARE CANADIAN IN CANADA.
DON'T FORGET
Imagine how immigrants are being treated if this is what happened to citizens
