| > No probable cause? So you are truly convinced that out of hundreds of thousands of interactions with ICE, those 170 people who were actually arrested, didn't meet any of these criteria for arrest? Are you really that far gone? The article itself is saying that and listed in the large summary box at the top. [edit] and at the very bottom of the article they detail "How We Did This" and gives more details on the numbers We found more than 170 cases this year where citizens were detained at raids and protests.
Agents have arrested about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, for allegedly interfering with or assaulting officers, yet those cases were often dropped.
Out of the 170 that that ProPublica could review, only 130 of them were taken "for allegedly interfering with or assaulting officers".That means the others were not. There are many reports of Americans being detained at their place of work. I'll leave links in the case that you truly believe every US Citizen detained was because they were at a protest and assaulting officers. [0][1][2] There are more if you care to do a simple search I have zero sympathy for anyone who initiates attacks on any law enforcement and finds themself arrested; in the same way I have zero tolerance for US Citizens being rounded up for matching a profile of people who lived here long before my ancestors ever landed in Virginia. The burden of proof is on the officers whose paycheck also comes from the citizens they are roughing up or humiliating in front of their families/workplaces. It's uncalled for and it's un-American [0] https://apnews.com/article/us-citizen-detained-ice-portland-... [1] https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/09/george-...
