This is what happened to Reid.
A week after she was arrested, her mugshot went up on the official ICE account on X. The post says, quote, "'Assault an officer or agent.
Get arrested.
It's not rocket science.'"
A former DHS spokeswoman said all of the agency's statements go through a thorough review process.
It was these posts that allowed Hannah and her team to figure out who exactly DHS was accusing of assault.
They found that 279 people were accused online of assaulting a federal officer.
And more than half, 64%, were U.S.
citizens.
Many of them are described as rioters, agitators, thugs, and terrorists.
Good and Preddy were the U.S.
citizens killed by DHS agents in Minnesota earlier this year.
Here's Vice President J.D.
Vance talking about Good's death.
And here's then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on Alex Preddy.
In the case of Renee Good, she was in her car when she was killed.
Hannah said drivers came up a lot in her team's investigation.
They found that in posts on X, federal government officials have accused 32 U.S.
citizens of intentionally using their vehicles as weapons.
The Wall Street Journal investigation found that of those 32 drivers, only one pleaded guilty to an assault charge.
