ICE Recruits 'Frustrated Officers' for Mass Deportations – Guess Who Isn't Frustrated?
The Independent details ICE's fresh recruitment drive, spending millions on TV ads to attract 'frustrated' police officers to implement 'mass deportation plans.' What the article glosses over is how this infrastructure of detention and deportation is a massive financial boon for private prison corporations. GEO Group and CoreCivic, for instance, have raked in billions from ICE contracts, with
their stock prices often tied directly to the number of people detained. Instead of merely lamenting 'frustrated officers,' perhaps we should ask why a system designed to terrorize communities is permitted to expand unchecked, fueled by taxpayer dollars and political rhetoric. Why isn't the frustration of the families targeted by these raids, or the communities being torn apart, the headline? Oh,
right, because that wouldn't sell the 'national security' narrative keeping detention centers full and corporate coffers overflowing. It's not frustration they're selling; it's profit, wrapped in a flag.
