MAGA’s whack-a-mole defense of immigration raids is backfiring
“The Trump administration has thoroughly failed the conservative information ecosystem credited with elevating Donald Trump back into the White House. Right-wing media wanted pictures of dangerous criminals being arrested for mass deportation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Instead, they’ve gotten images of toddlers detained, a 37-year-old mother shot dead, an elderly grandfather dragged from his home and minor U.S. citizens injured and in trauma units. A now-infamous story of Liam Conejo Ramos, a five-year-old in Minneapolis taken by ICE on Tuesday, is the perfect illustration of how fractured the media landscape has become in the age of Trump — and how the right’s hermetically sealed system is now undermining the administration’s deportation policies.

The most revealing aspect of the right’s current meltdown over anti-ICE protests is their confusion. MAGA world is flailing and sputtering, trapped inside a media ecosystem that no longer reaches reality. The result is a whack-a-mole defense of ICE that keeps collapsing under the weight of evidence, public outrage and even the testimony of people the right used to trust: cops.”

The problem of course is that the Trump Cult continues to ignore and attack facts and the truth, ignore the weight of evidence and public outrage – electing instead to propagate disinformation and lies.
And of course the Trump immigration agenda was never about dangerous criminals being arrested for mass deportation, it was about removing from the country immigrants of color – including those lawfully in the country – pursuant to a policy of fear and violent intimidation consistent with white grievance politics and racist replacement theory.
The Trump immigration agenda is motivated by racism, bigotry, and hate.
