Agents Told to Be ‘Camera Ready’ for Immigration Raids

“The Trump administration’s weekend immigration sweep that included nearly 1,000 arrests and has chilled many immigrant communities was followed by another blitz: A barrage of video and photos from the federal government showing agents in tactical gear and vests emblazoned with ‘Police ICE’ and ‘Homeland Security’ taking cuffed suspects away,” CNN reports.

“The made-for-TV look of the arrests is not a coincidence.”

“At least two agencies assisting US immigration officials with the raids have told personnel to ensure their clothing clearly depicts their respective agency in case they are filmed by members of the media.”
