    How… is the article bootlicking? They’re documenting the backlash and how ICE is responding to it, thus supporting the claim in the headline. They’re not saying this is a bad thing for ICE to be dealing with?

      Giving the ICE a platform to cry about how they’re “threatened” by the public for things the public has every right to be enraged over is peak manufacturing consent. Who gives a shit what they think or how they feel after they kidnap and murder people?

      Imagine if a German newspaper published an article like this about the SS during the holocaust, just letting the fucking extermination camp commanders vent about how everyone hates them now. Oh wait, that probably happened.

        you don’t even know what journalism is. the crazy shit they are saying is fucking important to report. imagine if no one documented the atrocities of nazi germany because they didn’t want to “platform Hitler”. you are out of your fucking tree. oh i know what will solve this, we’ll just DEPLATFORM THE US GOVERMENT, THAT’LL FUCKIN’ WORK, that’s a real thing we can totally do and which will have positive consequences
