Rant alert!! The anti-immigrant campaign is only spuriously about “law-enforcement.” In reality, ICE is engaged in what amounts to a brutal POGRAM with at least two all-too-familiar and all-too-loathsome objectives: 1) SCAPEGOATING (in order to justify political incompetence by “blaming” minorities), and 2) ETHNIC CLEANSING (in order to legitimize brutally “removing” these minorities).
Some definitions:
POGROM: a mob attack, either approved or condoned by authorities, against the persons and property of a religious, racial, or national minority (historically against Jews in particular). Encyclopedia Britannica.
SCAPEGOATING: the act of unfairly blaming an individual or group for problems, mistakes, or negative experiences, often to deflect responsibility from the actual source or to serve other psychological needs. Google.
ETHNIC CLEANSING: the systematic forced removal of ethnic, racial, or religious groups from a given area, with the intent of making the society ethnically homogeneous. Wikipedia.
I do not believe I can remain silent about this cruel and inhumane operation. ICE is an abomination.😭
