Remember that big government raid on an apartment building in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago?

The government doesn’t track how many citizens are held by immigration agents. @nicolefoy.bsky.social @propublica.org found more than 170 cases this year where citizens were detained at raids and protests.

Sounds like Mike Johnson hasn't read @nicolefoy.bsky.social's story yet. Here's the link 💁‍♂️ www.propublica.org/article/immi...
Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.
