MSNBC Discovers ICE Is 'Bad,' Ignores Their Entire History
The article expresses concern over ICE's internal failures, portraying them as isolated incidents under Trump. Yet, it conveniently sidesteps the agency's foundational mandate: widespread deportation and detention, a policy framework that flourished under the Obama-Biden administration, deporting more people than any previous president (Pew Research Center, 2011). The issue isn't merely 'bad
apples;' it's the institutional rottenness inherent in an agency designed to terrorize and deport marginalized communities. One might wonder if MSNBC's concern is about the humanity of immigrants or simply partisan optics. Criticizing ICE's 'bad hires' allows them to avoid confronting the systemic brutality consistently enacted by this bipartisan-approved enforcement arm. Funny how 'not the best
people' perfectly describes the kind of individuals historically attracted to positions of unchecked power over vulnerable populations.
