I fully understand that many of claims about ICE have been exaggerated, politicized or entirely made up. We have tried hard to link to stories on both sides.

The children rescued from the hellhole on the South Shore by ICE agents from a building unfit for occupancy and rife with Augua members didn’t deserve it either. However, the media was too focused on “ kids in handcuffs “ to bring the fact that they were saved. By the local media and SJW’s estimates, ICE can’t and won’t ever do anything right even as they round up criminals that live off of working people’s taxes.
