The media have been inundating Americans with stories of ICE’s cruelty to old ladies, babies, innocent men, and ordinary “Americans”—almost all of them here illegally, of course. It’s a non-stop drip of poisonous claims against federal law enforcement officers, all intended to make them look like Nazi stormtroopers attacking utterly innocent people who just happen to be here illegally, and are occasionally murderers, rapists, and pedophiles.
Nor are these stories just appearing on social media. “Reputable” news outlets are covering them, keeping the inflammatory material in the first paragraphs and burying the exculpatory facts deep in the articles.
