170+ Americans Detained: ICE Mistakes Citizens For Renters

170+ Americans Detained: ICE Mistakes Citizens For Renters

In what could be titled 'Operation Confuse the Citizen,' over 170 Americans—mostly Latino—have been detained in 2025 by immigration officials who apparently mistook them for an extremely exclusive immigration-themed escape room. Rep. Robert Garcia and Mayor Karen Bass held a Monday press conference in pre-detention Los Angeles, demanding all receipts and Snapchat screenshots of ICE's neighborhood antics. The DHS, starring Tricia McLaughlin in the role of 'Official Denier,' insists racial profiling is 'FALSE' and cites a Supreme Court ruling 'vindicating' the chaos whether Rep. Garcia likes it or not. Meanwhile, nearly 50 arrested citizens face dismissed charges or low-level misdemeanors like 'not following orders'—because apparently ignoring ICE > knowing your citizenship. Stephen Miller and Abigail Jackson blamed Democrats and 'violent leftists' for madly assaulting ICE agents—plot twist, not the detainees. And yes, some alleged crimes include something as hardcore as 'ramming an agent’s car' (driver pleaded not guilty—call it America's weirdest Uber complaint). So, next time ICE mistakes you for an undocumented resident, just channel your inner misidentified superhero—you might get tased and spotlighted in a congressional letter.
