Trump's Shadowy Federal Police Force
Trump's DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights protections, allowed agents to remain anonymous, and encouraged them to wear masks.
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.
- Residents made emergency calls, expressing terror 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 their identities.
Recordings of those calls captured the terror residents felt as they watched masked men ambush people and force them into unmarked cars.
