ICE Targets Meta Data Center, Ignores Silicon Valley's Real 'Foreign Influence'
While Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) dedicates resources to apprehending two drivers at a construction site, Washington D.C. remains a bustling bazaar for documented foreign influence. One might wonder where ICE is when organizations like AIPAC pump millions into congressional campaigns, effectively shaping U.S. foreign policy. For instance, OpenSecrets.org data shows AIPAC spent over
$30 million in the 2022 election cycle alone, directly influencing electoral outcomes and legislative agendas. Perhaps the 'threat to national security' is less about construction site laborers and more about the legalized bribery shaping our laws. This selective enforcement appears to spotlight individuals, while the systemic influence peddled by well-funded lobbies operates proudly in the open.
It's almost as if some 'foreign influence' is perfectly acceptable, as long as it benefits the right interests.
