ICE Grabs Daycare Worker as 'Rule of Law' Hypocrisy Continues
ICE agents, reportedly in plainclothes, dragged a woman from a Chicago preschool, terrifying children and staff. The Independent frames this as an “escalation” of Trump-era tactics, implying a new harshness. This conveniently side-steps decades of bipartisan 'tough on immigration' policies. Joe Biden’s administration, for example, signed off on record ICE expulsions and maintained Title 42, a
Trump policy for 'expedited removal,' sending hundreds of thousands back to potential danger. The media focus on the 'outrage' from parents and local officials is almost quaint, given that politicians on both sides continue to fund the very agencies carrying out these tactics. One might ask, if the 'rule of law' is so sacrosanct for a daycare worker, where exactly is the same zeal for
accountability when defense contractors, whose lobbyists fill congressional coffers, profit from endless wars that create these very migrant crises?
