TLDR

ProPublica reports on over 40 cases of immigration agents using banned chokeholds and other dangerous tactics that can cut off breathing, leading to injuries and seizures. Despite these tactics being banned, agents continue to use them, often without consequences. The agents are usually masked, making it difficult to identify and hold them accountable. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has not disclosed if any agents have been punished for these actions.
