The Spin
Left narrative
ICE beatings caused skull fractures and brain hemorrhages in this individual, while multiple other cases of sexual abuse have been reported over simple requests for basic necessities. Officers crush testicles, slam people against walls and coerce deportations through violence, emboldened to commit illegal acts with the blind and unwavering support of the Trump administration.
Right narrative
ICE enforcement protects Americans from criminals who commit crimes three times as often as legal residents, with over 60% of those arrested having pending charges or convictions. Without ICE removing illegal immigrants, taxpayers face a $1.5 trillion burden over migrants' lifetimes while violent criminals roam streets freely.
