BBC Discovers ICE Existed Only During Trump's Term
BBC Verify’s report on 'Trump's mass deportation drive' offers 70 videos tracking ICE tactics. Fascinating. One might wonder where this rigorous 'verification' was when Obama (the 'Deporter-in-Chief') oversaw nearly three million deportations between 2009 and 2016 – more than any previous president. Or when Biden implemented Title 42, which accelerated expulsions. This isn't a new phenomenon; it's
a bipartisan policy continuum draped in fresh outrage whenever the 'wrong' president is in charge. Selective amnesia, it seems, is a core tenet of 'verified' reporting. The tactics didn't start with Trump, nor will they end with him. But don't expect the BBC to 'verify' inconvenient history.
