According to a ProPublica report, 506 U.S. citizens have been detained by immigration agents during the Trump administration. More than 100 Americans were held after agents questioned their citizenship — nearly all were people of color. At least 70 American children and teens were detained, some of whom were handcuffed. Thirty-six Americans were held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or their family. And roughly a dozen citizens were deported, mostly children. This comes as the Justice Department moved to strip citizenship from 40 naturalized citizens who have committed crimes.
