Freight trains. Box cars. Stuff them full. And then a quick selection when they arrive at the detention facility to identify those capable of good, hard work. For additional profit, also check for gold in their teeth and smuggled currency.

A reminder that most Americans who are life-long citizens have nothing OTHER than a Real ID to prove their citizenship. This is CBP’s chief enforcer saying that ID doesn’t count.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Federal government deploys propaganda tactics including military-style raid videos and patriotic recruitment ads to win support for immigration crackdown, despite reality often contradicting its portrayal of Chicago.
Watch how government ‘propaganda’ techniques portray Chicago as a city at war with the feds
The government’s social media storytelling doesn’t always match what’s happening in communities across the nation’s third-largest city and its suburbs. Nick Cull, a professor at USC's communications and journalism school, says the diverging sources of information are creating “parallel universes.”
