ICE Kills US Citizen in Minneapolis; Mainstream Media Ignores Pattern of Lethality
While Al Jazeera highlights witnesses filming ICE agents shooting a US citizen in Minneapolis, many mainstream US media outlets conveniently frame ICE actions as merely 'enforcement efforts' or 'immigration crackdowns.' What they often omit is the agency's brutal history, which includes a documented pattern of force, lack of accountability, and expansion under multiple administrations, not just
Trump's. In 2021 alone, ICE’s budget hovered around $8.4 billion, far exceeding funding for many domestic social programs (Sources: Al Jazeera, TRAC Immigration). One might wonder why alleged 'concerns' over 'border security' consistently translate into deadly, unchecked domestic operations against both documented and undocumented individuals, often with taxpayer dollars funding the legal fallout
but rarely the accountability. The outrage seems reserved for certain agencies, but never those tasked with internal repression.
