Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itA specific, serious allegation that federal agents have murdered innocent civilians in other states — highly consequential if true or false, and directly verifiable against documented incidents
What we foundFederal agents have killed multiple civilians during immigration enforcement operations in several states, but whether these killings constitute 'murder' of 'innocent' civilians is actively contested by the Trump administration.
