1681 || the cold hard truth about ice

1681 || the cold hard truth about ice

In episode 1344, I debunked some immigration myths, in 1345 I shared some resources about the rights that immigrants have in this country, and as much as I would like to never talk about these assholes again, it feels like it’s past time to talk about the nightmare in the room. ICE itself.


FACTS:

  1. Olivia Rodrigo is older than ICE.
  2. When ICE was founded they were given 3 billion of our tax dollars annually. This year they are promised 42 billion* of our tax dollars. *According to DHS they’ll be using $170 billion over next 4 years (170/4) **+ for context what we could do with that much money? Ending WORLD hunger is estimated to cost just $93 billion a year and were spending $170 billion on an agency that has been around less time than Kelly Clarkson’s has been an American Idol.
  3. Between January 1 and January 13th of this year - that’s not even TWO WEEKS, there have been 26 cases of violent misconducts DURING RAIDS ALONE that have been VERIFIED and reported by the people who are actively funding said raids.
  4. Last year was the deadliest year on record for ICE, yet it was also their most profitable.
  5. The AP recently reported that ICE officers have been given permission to enter homes without a warrant.
