ICE Officer Kills Driver, Mainstream Media Forgets History
Protests erupted in Minneapolis after an ICE officer killed a driver, a story the mainstream often presents as an isolated, current event. Yet, the playbook of aggressive immigration enforcement, including raids and border militarization, predates any single presidency, escalating dramatically under administrations from Clinton to Obama. It's a bipartisan tradition, quietly funded through budgets
that swell with each 'crisis,' regardless of who occupies the White House. So, when media outlets frame this as uniquely 'Trump's crackdown,' one might wonder if they're deliberately narrowing the scope, avoiding the uncomfortable truth that the system itself, honed over decades, is the real constant. How many incidents like this must occur before we acknowledge the systemic violence, rather than
simply blaming the loudest executive?
