And this goes to the optic, the optic of how this policy is now being implemented.
And we're working our way slowly towards Minneapolis here.
So one of the things I'm seeing on social media is people posting that ICE officers or agents, as they are referred to, are not law enforcement.
that ICE agents cannot arrest you and that you don't have to comply with anything that they say.
That's a wild claim and it is spreading like wildfire.
And the reason I believe it's spreading like wildfire is that aligns with how people feel, not the actual truth.
And on that note, I think one of the biggest differences probably now between the Obama administration or the Biden administration,
is that for better or worse, the person currently sitting in the Oval Office has this innate ability to inspire loyalists and whatever the word would be on the other side of that.
And they are pitted against each other.
And I think a lot of the people arguing against or rallying for or protesting
It has more to do with the person in office than it does with the objective or even the optic.
But let's go ahead here and cut through a little bit of the BS that I am constantly seeing online.
Okay.
Are ICE agents law enforcement officers?
Again, I went through three different AI sources, so there is a chance that this information is wrong.
However, it did spit me out nearly identical answers.
So here's what I'm gonna read.
Yes, ICE agents are federal law enforcement officers with arrest powers.
So anybody out there promoting this information that they do not is incorrect.
and irresponsible in pushing that information to other people.
