Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Q: The man was previously in federal immigration custody and then was released by the Trump administration in 2018. You talk about choice. That was also a choice to release this individual that you were targeting.

Heads up, Twin Cities—
CBP agent Timothy Donahue was photographed outside the Whipple building yesterday. In Chicago, he was documented aggressively detaining bystanders; also involved in at least one car crash.
Most importantly, he also brandished his gun at a crowd in Evanston on 10/31.
