Mayorkas says the IG was immediately contacted to open an investigation into the agents involved in the deeply troubling images that do not reflect who we are.
The photograpger says the images are being misconstrued. But what would he/she know ?
This illustrates the problem with outrage culture. Mix that with optics culture, this is what we get. People look at the disturbing images, get irate, and jump to hasty conclusions. Or to use a hackneyed phrase, there is "a rush to judgment". Let's face it, even construed correctly, white men on horseback, with long whip like reins, herding Black men like cattle, is 'not a good look'. It's at least 'concerning'.
There is another 'concerning' aspect to all this that is not getting media attention. Immigrants who might qualify for asylum are apparently being given notices to report and released. I can sort of understand that. However, for some bizarre reason they are not being tested or vaccinated for covid 19. I have heard those with symptoms are possibly being held in custody and quarantined?
If covid vaccination and / or testing can be required for employment, restaurant entry, etc,; then there is no reason I can see why it can't be made a condition for immigration and asylum. Dems want to pass their infrastructure bill, add this as a rider. Then they could say the Republicans voted against covid testing for illegal immigrants.
