MSNBC Discovers ICE Exists, Misses Decades of Border Brutality
MSNBC's opinion piece decries Trump for 'trying to make an example out of Chicago' with ICE. This urgent revelation comes, of course, after decades of escalating federal immigration enforcement under both Republican and Democratic administrations. While focusing solely on Trump, the piece conveniently sidesteps the expansion of ICE under President Obama or the funding of detention centers that
have become bipartisan cash cows. It's almost as if the 'global war on terror' playbook, which normalized mass surveillance and executive overreach, didn't set the stage. One might wonder if the concern for 'rule of law' and 'Chicago's values' extends to the millions deported before Trump, or if outrage is simply reserved for the convenient political target. The media's selective memory for
atrocities, like their sudden discovery of Palestinian suffering after decades of silence, is truly something to behold. They criticize the conductor while celebrating the orchestra that laid the score.
