For the last year, the Trump administration claimed that immigration officers have been under attack.
Vehicle rammings. Bitten fingers. All signs of a rampant uptick in assaults against federal officers.
The government has labeled alleged perpetrators on X as "domestic terrorists" and "extremists."
But, who are they?
Citizens — for the most part. Yet none have been convicted at trial.
Read our latest story to learn how the Department of Homeland Security, created to protect Americans, has turned its force against them. 👇

When Binance this spring struck a deal for MGX, an Emirati state investor, to buy a minority stake in the crypto exchange, it asked that the $2 billion purchase price be paid using the Trump crypto company’s USD1 stablecoin, catapulting the product, people familiar with the transaction said.
People close to the transaction at the time privately expressed confusion about MGX’s choice of USD1 and sought to understand why the stablecoin had been selected.
A lawyer for Binance denied any impropriety and said Binance “did not control the stablecoin chosen by MGX.”MGX said it selected USD1 after examining factors including “business suitability.”
