  "account": "ProPublica has released a report detailing over 500 cases of U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents since the beginning of the Trump administration. This revelation comes after experts had long warned that immigration dragnets would not only harm immigrants but also U.S. citizens. The report was compiled by scouring social media, court records, and local media, with each incident confirmed by at least two sources. The Department of Homeland Security was contacted for every incident, and any federal criminal charges related to the cases were also investigated, though DHS has repeatedly denied arresting U.S. citizens. The list is likely an undercount as the government does not track these cases. The full report includes detailed accounts of each case along with the evidence.",
