Biden's "Moral Clarity" on Borders: A Trumpian Sequel
The Independent ’s article paints a stark picture of Trump's immigration court tactics, showing families torn apart by agents. (One might call this 'both-sidesing' a policy that didn't disappear with a change in presidents.) While the imagery is compelling, the framing handily sidesteps the fact that President Biden, despite promises of a more humane approach, has signed policies like Executive
Order 14010, continuing expulsions under Title 42-lite justifications, and maintaining record deportation numbers. It appears the 'takeover' of immigration courts wasn't just a fleeting moment under Trump, but a bipartisan commitment to securing borders with increasingly Draconian measures. Perhaps the Independent will next illustrate the humanitarian crisis at the border under President Biden, or
is that just 'normal immigration enforcement' now?
