ICE Agents Make Arrests: Trump's Immigration Policy Never Really Left
The story details ICE arrests and a lawsuit against Trump in Minnesota, implying a unique Trump-era aggression. But let's be real: ICE was unleashed under Bush, expanded under Obama, and, despite the daily outrage, continues its mission unhindered, often with more funding, under Biden. The infrastructure of detainment and deportation isn't a glitch; it's a feature of U.S. policy, consistently
funded by both parties. One might wonder why we keep acting surprised when the agents continue to 'make arrests' (read: tear families apart, often for minor infractions or simply for seeking asylum) regardless of who's in the White House. This isn't about one president; it's about a deeply entrenched, multi-billion dollar enforcement industry that has bipartisan support, silently extracting profit
from human desperation. The clashing with protesters isn't an anomaly, it’s the predictable outcome when a state apparatus is designed to criminalize migration. How many more news cycles will treat these 'clashes' as isolated incidents, instead of recognizing them as the everyday reality of a system built to control, rather than protect, human beings?
