Read original story ↗ProPublica's case-by-case tracker records 519 U.S. citizens detained by federal immigration agents, including children and people stopped while filming. Its October 29 update added 13 cases to the October 6 investigation. The count is the newsroom's documented minimum, not a government census, and the circumstances differ: citizenship questioning, alleged obstruction and recording are separate categories. DHS disputes the broader characterization of its enforcement practices.
