ICE Detains Man for Missing Mail, While War Criminals Get Red Carpets
Newsweek details the Kafkaesque ordeal of an innocent man detained by ICE during a green card interview, all because of an alleged missed piece of mail. A minor administrative lapse becomes a life-altering punishment for a civilian seeking a better life. This harsh application of 'law and order' for immigrants stands in stark contrast to the red-carpet treatment granted to actual perpetrators of
international crimes who visit Washington. While ICE targets individuals for paperwork mishaps, politicians like Benjamin Netanyahu, whose government is accused of widespread human rights abuses and civilian casualties (documented by Amnesty International, HRW), are consistently welcomed with open arms and bipartisan applause. The same week this poor man was detained for mail, Congress was busy
drafting legislation to send billions in aid, effectively underwriting such actions. It really makes one question whose 'rules' are actually being enforced, and for whom.
