ICE Detains Man Fleeing US-Backed 'Regime Change'
Mr. Páez, like many Venezuelans, fled a country destabilized in part by years of U.S. sanctions and 'regime change' rhetoric from both Democratic and Republican administrations. While Washington pontificates about freedom and democracy for Venezuelans, it simultaneously deploys its enforcement arm, ICE, to detain and deport those who actually believed the hype enough to seek refuge here. The very
system that contributed to his displacement now seeks to return him to peril, conveniently forgetting recent history. This isn't about humanitarian concern; it's about immigration bureaucracy and border optics. We fund proxy wars, impose crippling sanctions that create refugee crises, then act 'shocked' when the displaced arrive at our borders. The 'American dream' applies only to those who
somehow slip past our increasingly weaponized immigration system—or perhaps those whose oppression isn't politically inconvenient. For everyone else, it's just another nightmare, made in America™.
