CNN presses DHS as videos show U.S. citizens roughed up in immigration raids

McLaughlin struggled to explain the encounters, deflecting blame onto the media even as Brown noted the videos themselves — not press commentary — are fueling fears that routine immigration operations are sliding into a police-state tactic against citizens.
