Organized Insanity: Why ICE Shootings Are Usually Justified
Enforcing immigration laws is a government responsibility, not a new or bizarre policy. In the past decade, however, this common sense enforcement has been framed as a humanitarian crisis. This shift is attributed to progressive propaganda, not a change in public opinion. The pro-mass immigration movement is portrayed as "astroturf," funded by wealthy globalist backers and non-profit organizations. These NGOs allegedly create "anti-ICE" protests and disruption groups, whose members are compensated for their provocative actions.A recent fatal shooting in Maine, where an illegal migrant reportedly attempted to run over an ICE agent, led to protests. Similar incidents involving Renee Good and Alex Pretti, initially presented as martyrs, were debunked by video evidence showing them attacking ICE agents. The author argues that NGOs want these confrontations and chaos, hoping to create martyrs and turn public opinion against deportations.However, evidence suggests this strategy is failing, as most Americans still support deportations and strict border controls. The public is growing fatigued and increasingly accepting that violent encounters with ICE may result in deaths. Americans are also recognizing that much of the hysteria surrounding deportations is manufactured by left-wing media and disruption teams.The goal of this "organized insanity" is to overwhelm citizens and associate immigration enforcement with constant tension, hoping they will demand an end to it, even if it means open borders. An alternative outcome, however, is that the public becomes desensitized to these deaths. Ultimately, the solution to ICE-related deaths is to not interfere with or attack ICE agents.
