The Immigration Pendulum Is Swinging Once Again
Briefly

The article discusses the contrasting public perception of President Trump's immigration enforcement tactics compared to traditional law enforcement portrayals like those seen in 'Cops.' While Trump campaigned on a strong immigration stance, actual enforcement actions have led to disturbing scenes captured on social media, where individuals are arrested in emotionally charged situations. This has prompted widespread criticism, with many likening ICE tactics to authoritarianism, despite being within the bounds of their operational protocols. Public sentiment shows a significant disconnect with the perceived severity of immigration offenses.
Many Americans have recoiled at these scenes, comparing officers' tactics to those of authoritarian regimes.
It's messy and emotional, and requires officers to arrest people for an offense that many Americans do not view as a crime.
