Race‑based sweeps detain citizens

ProPublica identified 170+ cases this year where U.S. citizens were held by immigration agents during raids and protests, including children and people held without access to counsel. This finding contradicts a Supreme Court assurance that race‑considering sweeps would promptly release citizens and spotlights a lack of DHS tracking. — It exposes a gap between judicial assurances and field practice, elevating civil‑liberties and oversight stakes around immigration enforcement and race‑based stops.
