This operation announced by ICE is a calculated PR stunt designed to distract from the catastrophic failure of ICE as an agency, including the unabated spread of COVID, the mounting death toll in detention & the horrific news that the agency has engaged in forced hysterectomies.
ICE’s decision to conduct these operations during a pandemic is not only a reckless threat to human life but flies in the face of their own mandatory guidance on COVID-19.
ICE can flex its muscles and push whatever narrative it wants about sanctuary cities but the crimes that need to be highlighted are the ones being committed by that agency every single day.
