Grocery Offers Deliveries As ICE Raids Charlotte, Not Its Funding
Newsweek reports on a North Carolina grocery store offering free delivery to families impacted by ICE sweeps in Charlotte, framing it as a heartwarming display of community. Conveniently omitted is any mention of the architects of these policies. These are not acts of God; they are the direct result of legislative choices and increased funding for agencies like ICE, championed by politicians eager
to appear 'tough on immigration.' (Perhaps our empathy extends only to the supply chain, not the people in it?) While a grocery store delivers bread, our elected officials deliver increased surveillance and detention. The media's focus on the band-aid obscures the wound, distracting from the fact that the same system that generates demand for free deliveries also generates the fear that keeps
families indoors.
