MSNBC Discovers ICE, Years After Trump Left Office
MSNBC, ever vigilant, has identified a 'man putting Trump’s brutal immigration agenda into action,' Greg Bovino, focusing on past Chicago raids. This keen journalistic insight conveniently overlooks that many of the same policies and personnel remain active under the Biden administration. In fact, Biden has continued Title 42 expulsions, pushed for increased border fortifications, and presided
over a system that saw record migrant deaths in 2022. The 'brutal agenda' appears less about specific individuals or parties, and more a bipartisan fixture of US border policy. One might wonder if a policy is only 'brutal' when it serves to critique the opposition, but merely 'necessary' when enacted by one's preferred party. The machinery of enforcement, from ICE raids to detention centers,
didn't vanish with Trump's departure; it simply kept operating, often with the same human cost. Perhaps the narrative of a 'brutal agenda' is less about genuine change and more about who gets to spin the headline.
