In cities across the country, from Los Angeles to Chicago to Minneapolis, residents have taken to the streets to oppose the militarized immigration sweeps, enforcement tactics and violence of ICE and Border Patrol under President Trump's second term. A new ProPublica and Frontline investigation looks at law enforcement's heavy-handed response to these protests, resulting in legally dubious charges that later unravel.
"The Department of Justice was labeling the people who were in the streets as domestic terrorists, as agitators, as extremists. They were rounding them up in large numbers," says A.C. Thompson, investigative reporter with ProPublica and correspondent for PBS's Frontline documentary series. "So, we looked at 300 arrests in these various cities and found that more than a third of them had collapsed."
