M Most of the recent vitriolic opposition to ICE is a feint by unrepentant open-borders progressives. They won the first round when Joe Biden was elected president, lost the second when Donald Trump returned to office, and are back for a rematch. Democratic leaders portray ICE agents as violent Gestapo thugs and murderers. They claim ICE kidnaps good people off the street, rips apart their families and communities, and deprives them of due process. They give lip service to deporting the "worst of the worst," but they lead sanctuary cities that release hardened criminal illegal aliens and incite protesters to harass and prevent ICE from arresting rapists, child predators, and killers.

Black women started 2025 with an unemployment rate of 5.4 percent. They ended it at 7.3 percent " the highest rate in four years. Black women's unemployment is now equivalent to White women's rate during the bleakest moments of the Great Recession. "The labor market that Black women live in is what White women would think of as the worst labor market they've ever been in," said Kathryn Anne Edwards, a labor economist. Without counting the pandemic, White women as a group have only experienced unemployment rates this high three times since 1954, when that monthly data started being collected.
Cameras worn by officers long have been central to police reform efforts for this reason. The Trump administration, however, moved last year to slow-walk a pilot program to give ICE officers body cameras, urging Congress in June to cut the funding by 75% and bucking a nationwide trend of cameras for law enforcement. Officials last year also placed on paid leave nearly all staffers working for three internal watchdogs conducting oversight of immigration agencies, undermining their capacity to investigate abuses. Darius Reeves, who was the director of ICE's Baltimore field office until August, said a body camera pilot program rollout had been slow in 2024 under President Biden, a Democrat, and "died on the vine" under Trump, a Republican. In response to a request for comment, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said ICE officers "act heroically to enforce the law and protect American communities."

On January 23, 2016, Donald Trump notoriously declared, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters." That statement was understood at the time as a metaphorical expression of the depth of Republican voters' commitment to him. Ten years and one day later, his administration's agents shot a disarmed man on the street in full view of the public. Perhaps we should have taken him not only seriously but also literally.
