ICE Deploys Tear Gas on Children's Parade Route: Homeland Security Priorities
Mainstream media will highlight the disruption and the 'outrage' but skip the history lesson. This isn't just an isolated incident; it's a chilling echo of policies that prioritize aggressive enforcement over community well-being. While politicians debate borders hundreds of miles away, the apparatus of the state descends on neighborhoods, turning a kid's holiday into a paramilitary operation by
proxy. One might wonder if the government that funds perpetual wars abroad might also have a surplus of aggression for its own citizens. The same politicians who champion 'rule of law' conveniently overlook the trauma inflicted on local communities, as if the only 'threats' are external. How many trick-or-treaters must be tear-gassed before we question whose 'security' is truly being protected?
