Residents in a Washington DC neighbourhood with one of the city's largest Latino populations say they have seen a surge in immigration raids since the Trump administration launched its crime crackdown.
People are walking around scared, one resident, who wanted to remain anonymous, said. I've never seen the streets so empty.
Videos posted on social media in the last week show arrests and raids - along with protests by locals - in the Columbia Heights area.
More than 1,000 arrests have been made across the US capital since the crackdown started on 11 August - nearly half were of suspected illegal immigrants, according to the White House.
BBC Verify has reviewed more than a dozen videos filmed in Columbia Heights and spoken to people who live there to assess the impact on the neighbourhood.
Car stopped and windows smashed
One video of two men being seized by law enforcement officers was posted on Instagram by a local journalist on Thursday morning.
In the footage, a number on a distinctive building can be seen. We used this to pinpoint the location to a road in Columbia Heights - about two miles north of the White House - and headed there to find out more about what happened.
We met a woman who witnessed the incident. She said she didn't know the two men but showed us several videos she had filmed, including one she live-streamed on Facebook at 07:39 that morning.
It shows two men in a red car, surrounded by a group of nine officers - some with police federal officer on their vests, some wearing masks.
The officers then smash two of the car windows before dragging the men out, forcing one of them to the ground and putting him in handcuffs.
Both men are walked to an unmarked car and driven away, while the woman filming shouts in Spanish: They are fighting for their lives… They broke the windows, don't go out, don't go out. Several other onlookers can be heard chanting ICE go home, another shouts you should be so ashamed. Someone names one of the men as Eric Lopez.
When we arrived, we saw the car being towed away by a man who gave us a number for someone who he said knew the arrested men.
We contacted the person and he texted back to say the men were from Guatemala, in the US illegally, and one had a wife and son. He called them good kids and claimed they do not have a bad record in anything.
BBC Verify asked the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for more details.
A spokesperson said ICE agents had arrested Erickson Sebastian Lopez-Castanon, an illegal alien who was in the car.
They added: The target of this operation was Darwin Arahely Lopez-Castanon, a criminal illegal alien who has been charged with felony domestic violence. This criminal illegal alien from Guatemala was previously deported twice before he illegally entered the country a third time. They said the officers had used the minimum amount of force necessary.
The woman who filmed the videos wanted to remain anonymous but invited us into her home nearby. She said her family was originally from Central America but were now legal US citizens.
Her daughter, who also wished to remain anonymous, claimed the majority of Latino people in the area were undocumented and had become increasingly anxious over the last two weeks.
I was born and raised here in Washington DC, she said. My parents fortunately have documents… But I'm always on the edge thinking 'where are they going to hit next? Is it going to be us, even though we have documents?'
Even people with documents are hiding because they're scared.
Homes targeted in immigration raids
She told us her uncle's house across the street was targeted by federal agents last week.
I walked out and saw a bunch of cops outside the house. They were knocking and asking my uncle to open the door, they weren't saying who they were looking for. They weren't showing any documentation.
We called my uncle she says, I was like, don't open the door… after maybe 20, 30 minutes, they end up leaving. But they were so afraid.
The uncle joined us and showed us his documentation, which he says he waved to the agents from his window to prove that he is in the US legally.
He said federal authorities were also patrolling a local park where people play football.
The number of people turning up to play had dropped from roughly 50 to around 15, as many were undocumented and afraid of being detained, he said.
Several videos also show officers with FBI and Homeland Security markings, as well as local police, surrounding another property on Sunday evening.
Locals can be heard shouting get out of our neighbourhood. We located the videos to a street two blocks away.
We spoke to several individuals about the prevailing atmosphere. One resident, Winnie Litchfield, described how much quieter the neighborhood felt, citing how the streets were less crowded and vendors were absent.
In contrast, Aliaina Hooks shared how there used to be many Latino vendors on the sidewalks, but recently the scene had become desolate with no one around.
Overall, community members express a collective disquiet regarding their safety and innocence in a setting that feels increasingly monitored and oppressive.
