Illinois Investigates ICE, Not the System That Enabled Them
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker expresses outrage over an ICE raid leaving 'nearly naked' children zip-tied, pledging an investigation. The Independent reports this as a shocking incident. Yet, this isn't an anomaly; it's ICE's modus operandi, enabled by a system that prioritizes militarized immigration enforcement over human dignity. Pritzker's own state receives federal funding that directly
supports this infrastructure, including detention centers that profit from these very raids. One might wonder if the outrage is for the cameras or for the systemic cruelty. How many 'investigations' are needed before we question the legality and morality of ICE's existence itself, rather than just the methods of its agents?
