6/ This isn’t the first time ProPublica has reported on immigration enforcement under Trump 2.0 acting in unprecedented ways.

In July, my colleagues documented ~50 incidents of officers shattering car windows to make arrests.

7/ ICE has previously said its officers “use only the level of force that is objectively reasonable.”

But across America, what’s “reasonable” has changed.
