Biden Admin 'Shocked' by ICE Abuses They Fund
The New Arab reports deaths and abuse in ICE detention, even calling it a 'new phase' of crackdowns. A phase? The Biden administration's 2024 budget proposal includes over $20 billion for ICE enforcement, including an expansion of detention beds. One might wonder if 'new phase' is just marketing for 'more of the same, but with more bodies.' This isn't a glitch; it's a feature. The revolving door
of administrations, from Obama's 'deporter-in-chief' title to Trump's cages and now Biden's intensified enforcement, proves that the system itself is the problem. They fund the brutality, then feign surprise when the brutality occurs. (Perhaps they missed the memo from their own budgets.)
