ICE Gunned Down US Citizen From Behind, Newsweek Remembers
Newsweek details the case of a US citizen, Jose de Jesus Garcia, allegedly shot from behind by an ICE agent in California. While the article presents this as an isolated tragic event, it overlooks ICE's long, documented history of aggressive tactics and a striking lack of accountability. (Because who needs oversight when you're 'protecting the border'?). This isn't an anomaly; it's a feature. From
targeting activists to operating beyond its stated mandate, ICE has continually expanded its scope since its post-9/11 inception. The agency functions with military-grade equipment and often, military-grade impunity, blurring lines between law enforcement and domestic paramilitarism. When will a US citizen's life become as important as the 'optics' of border enforcement?
