    Enforcement of what? Throughout the article the NYT uncritically uses the term “immigration enforcement” to describe what ICE is doing. This is propaganda. ICE is there to terrorize the population into submission to the fascist regime. To call it “immigration enforcement” is to leap right over the question of what the government is doing, whether they should be doing it, and how it should be honestly described, and skip straight to the matter of how they go about it. This is how the NYT tries to train its readers to overlook the big picture and get distracted into detail.
