You guys may not like it, but ICE in our community is news and should be reported on. Especially given the PR run that ICE has had of late. If the sheriff and local police are having to get out ahead of it all and said that they have nothing to do with the ICE activity, I can assure you they've been getting calls.

News should not have to make you feel good in order to be reported.

ICE has been here for years.

It wasn't until it became the left movement of the moment that it "should be reported on".

I had ICE folks show up to one of my jobsites in Bryan in 2022. They were asking questions to one of my subcontractors when I showed up. It was the first time that had ever happened. I guess I should have been following Rusty on twitter because he definitely would have been reporting on it in 2022 when Joe Biden was president.

The other thing I did not notice at that time was a gaggle of idiots with whistles and signs following the ICE agents around. How weird. I wonder what changed?

Rusty is now reporting on ticket sales for the movie Melania in BCS…he clearly has NO agenda.

When your agency starts killing people, it tends to attract attention.

Under previous presidents, far more…millions more…were deported and ICE basically operated in the background.

Way more went to Austin to go to the pro-life Mass and march.
Did he report the buses that went there?

BTW - I am Catholic and if someone who is Catholic wants to peacefully protest the way in which ICE is operating, go ahead. That isn't my point. My point is how all of this is "reported"...

He "reports" stuff like this.


"Everyone" is sharing? I hadn't seen anyone until Rusty did. Maybe on his liberal signal chats they are sharing, but I haven't seen it anywhere.

The attention was there before people played stupid games. People are playing stupid games BECAUSE of the attention the media is giving ICE. None of these people had issues with deportations without due process during Obama's administration. ICE didnt have to fight off rioters, or have people constantly interferting and harassing them then. But "orange man bad" syndrome seems to have hit hard...

ICE would still be operating in the background, but people like Rusty go and post their vehicles, license plates, and whereabouts on social media to incite the "peaceful " protesters. That didnt happen then.

Yeah, my guess his people he follows and his algorithm has him seeing "everyone" sharing this.

The agency ended up killing people due to the increased attention and "protests". ICE didn't wake up one day and decide to expand its role to killing.

Absolutely. I have no issue with Catholics protesting. But to say the BCS Catholic community was out protesting is simply not true. There were some people who were Catholic out protesting. But the Catholic community was not. It was not a church sanctioned thing.

Edit- wrong emoji lol

Dear Rusty... A large majority of Mexicans are Roman Catholic. Of course that was not part of his agenda so he did not report it.

What a surprise. When a Dem was in office, their agitators were quiet.

You realize that under the Biden administration when the border wasn't closed and we had an influx of illegals streaming over the border, that they calculated rapid removal, meaning caught and immediately removed, as a deportation….you knew that, right? That is playing funny business with numbers…the numbers you see under Trump are actual, by definition, deportations…meaning they have been living within this country and are now being deported…

So you saying that former Presidents have deported millions more just isn't accurate.

Quote:
The Biden administration took office amid heightened debate in some circles over the merits and tactics of deportations, yet it is on track to carry out as many removals and returns as the Trump administration did. The 1.1 million deportations since the beginning of fiscal year (FY) 2021 through February 2024 (the most recent data available) are on pace to match the 1.5 million deportations carried out during the four years President Donald Trump was in office. These deportations are in addition to the 3 million expulsions of migrants crossing the border irregularly that occurred under the pandemic-era Title 42 order between March 2020 and May 2023the vast majority of which occurred under the Biden administration. Combining deportations with expulsions and other actions to block migrants without permission to enter the United States, the Biden administration's nearly 4.4 million repatriations are already more than any single presidential term since the George W. Bush administration (5 million in its second term).

What person was just standing there minding their own business or holding up a sign that was killed by ICE or other LEO?

Rusty and Kayleigh bent out of shape reporting on the Trump Accounts for newborns is quite telling. No assessment of the advantages. Just continuous analysis of what it doesn't cover and how it might disadvantage certain demographics. Just confirms who they are and where my money isn't going. Trump accounts aren't a panacea. But they are a start for some kind of government investment outside the SS system for Americans.

Did we even watch the same thing? I didn't hear them talk about what it doesn't cover. I did hear about what it does cover such as tuition. I also didn't hear them talk about any disadvantages or that it would negatively impact certain "demographics." What I heard was that parents can open one to get free money depending on when their child was born. They also mentioned ways to contribute. Its hard to take you seriously or respect your opinion when you have called Katie by Kayleigh multiple times now. That right there proves you really don't pay attention. But you're entilited to your opinion.

Regardless of what is said, the "media bad" crowd thinks media is bad. As illustrated above, you hear what you want to hear, and there's no better illustration of that than this right here.

That is true in any conversation, however a news cast is not a conversation.

I think this thread needs to move the forum 16 to continue.

During President Obama's administration (20092017), approximately 107 to 113 individuals died while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody. While the majority of these individuals were non-citizens, investigations by human rights organizations highlighted that many deaths were preventable and linked to substandard medical care

Don't worry- they are all posting and reporting on how TAMU is axeing the women's gender studies program for political reasons.

Not like only having 56 students had anything to do with it...
