FILLING IN THE BLANKS

By Bob Walsh

 

Two Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detain a woman outside a day care in Chicago’s Roscoe Village neighborhood, pressing her against a car as another officer moves toward the building entrance.

A couple of days ago an interesting ICE arrest went down in Chicago.  What is being reported in most of the media is, at least according to ICE, NOT what actually happened.

The woman was (allegedly) as targeted pickup by ICE.  That means that she was NOT just an illegal, they had some specific reason to go for her.  Normally this is actual guilt or strongly suspected guilt of some additional crimes beyond merely illegal entry.  She fled into a day care center.  She had no affiliation with the day care center, contrary to what is being reported.  She (allegedly) threatened the children in the day care center.  She was dragged out kicking and screaming and thrown in an ICE vehicle.

I have no idea which side is telling the truth.  I do know that ICE has very little reason to lie about something like this where the truth would certainly come out relatively soon and make them look even worse than they would otherwise.  That does not mean that that is NOT what happened.  It does mean I am very happy to wait and find out just what the hell really happened.  

I wonder if the mainstream media will issue a correction if it turns out their report was bullshit?   I sort of doubt it.
