ICE Kills Another, Media Asks 'Why Protests?' After Decades of Zero Accountability
The Independent reports on protests erupting nationwide after Renee Good’s death during an ICE operation, lamenting the public unrest. What they neglect to mention is that the public is tired of watching federal agencies operate with near-impunity, particularly when targeting marginalized communities. This isn't just about 'one bad apple'; it's about a system that routinely evades accountability,
from Ruby Ridge to Waco, to countless ICE raids that tear families apart with militarized force. Perhaps if law enforcement agencies, especially those with aggressive deportation mandates, faced genuine oversight and consequences for excessive force, the 'eruption' of protests wouldn't be such a baffling mystery. But why bother with actual reform when you can just print headlines about shocked
observers?
