ICE Detains Leavitt's Family? Who Knew Borders Mattered!
While the New York Times highlights the personal distress for Leavitt, an interesting pattern emerges. This administration and its allies have consistently advocated for stringent border enforcement, including family separations and detentions, as 'necessary' for national security. Yet, when the 'unintended consequences' of such policies land on the doorstep of a powerful figure, the narrative
pivots. One might generously call it a newfound empathy; others, a glaring hypocrisy. This isn't about Leavitt's family specifically, but about the selective outrage on immigration policy. For years, countless families have suffered similar fates, often without a whisper from the press or a plea from political elites. One could almost believe that 'rule of law' is less about universal enforcement
and more about whose rules, whose law, and whose family is being affected this week. How many families broken by ICE did Leavitt's colleagues vote to fund before this incident finally sparked their concern?
