BROADCAST BIAS: Networks demonize ICE as ‘Trump’s Gestapo,’ downplay attacks on them

WARNING: GRAPHIC FOOTAGE - Fox News obtained cellphone video taken by the ICE agent involved in the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman.

Minnesota Democrat Gov. Tim Walz pulled out the smears last May at a law-school graduation. The agents of Immigrations and Custom Enforcement (ICE) were "Trump’s modern-day Gestapo," "scooping folks up off the streets." It had been Joe Biden’s ICE just four months earlier. How quickly can an agency descend into fascism? 

The national broadcast networks never found that objectionable or newsworthy. The "independent fact-checkers" yawned. Comparing President Donald Trump to Hitler is 24/7 Democrat messaging. Comparing law-enforcement agencies to storm troopers is perfectly fine – when the Democrats aren’t in charge of them. 

It’s become clear that Democrats from Walz on down don’t just oppose mass deportation. They oppose any deportations. They don’t welcome cooperation with ICE. They push resistance against ICE. 

Because ICE is now relentlessly demonized, it shouldn’t be surprising that they’ve been on the receiving end of violence. The broadcast networks yawn. In September in Chicago, an illegal alien ran over and dragged an ICE agent in Chicago until the alien was shot dead. But there was no sympathy for the dragged agent on ABC, CBS, NBC or PBS.
