Submission statement: This is a detailed analysis of cases involving hundreds of Americans being targeted by DHS in their immigration crackdown for protesting and documenting federal agents. They are often immediately accused on official social media accounts with highly charged phrases such as “domestic terrorists” and “violently obstructing federal agents.” Yet, zero has been convicted of assault and only a small minority of cases led to lesser convictions or guilty plea of lesser charges. Often, these situations were deliberately provoked, followed with manufactured narratives, by federal agents.
Despite their names being cleared legally, many of these citizens continue to suffer reputational damage, threats to personal safety, legal costs, and arbitrary denial of government services.
