And they paid the ultimate price.
To a certain extent.
So my take on this is, irrespective, again, of what you think of immigration, we voted for the guy who wanted to do mass deportations.
I mean, I didn't personally vote for him, but we as a country voted for him.
He's the president now, and so we're doing mass deportations.
That's going to be how it's going for the next few years.
And I think that the way the administration has chosen to go about this, the way they've chosen to message it, the way they've chosen to execute these ICE raids is making everything worse.
I think it projects incredible lack of seriousness, the way that they're presenting the information about who is being deported.
It's on this website called Worst of the Worst.
Okay, you said that.
Yeah, it's a cartoonish presentation.
Basically, because of the way that DHS and ICE are behaving and communicating, and I'm not saying it's everybody, I'm just saying, you know, the leadership and a certain number of people who are unfortunately being caught on video all the time acting this way, are contributing to the notion that ICE are basically like cartoon villains.
They're acting, you know, in many cases, the agents are behaving like
They are cosplaying Rambo meets the bully from a 1980s teen comedy.
And you have, yes, this website that presents the information on who's being deported, which is important information that people should be receiving, presenting it in this incredibly unserious, sensationalistic way.
The graphics on this thing look like they were designed by the person who was doing the on-screen graphics for Maury Povich's You Are Not the Father segments in the 90s.
Yeah, so there is this lack of gravitas.
I mean, this is on the part of the officials, you know, the federal government.
They're not presenting this in a way that makes it feel serious.
