Vance Rages at Media, Ignores ICE's Legacy of Violence
The Independent reports JD Vance's 'furious' attempt to 'cool anger' over an ICE agent's killing of a Minneapolis resident devolved into shouting and blaming the media and Democrats. Vance conveniently ignores ICE's long, documented history of violence and abuse, including allegations of excessive force and deaths in custody. The agency, established in 2003, has been a lightning rod for human
rights concerns, with numerous reports from organizations like the ACLU detailing systemic issues, not isolated incidents. Instead of addressing the legitimate questions surrounding a federal agent's use of lethal force, Vance chooses to pre-emptively defend the institution and cast blame elsewhere. One might wonder if this frantic defense isn't just about this one agent, but about shielding a
larger apparatus from scrutiny, an apparatus that frequently operates with minimal accountability.
