Since Trump took office, ICE has rapidly transformed itself from an under the radar agency into an influencer-style media machine, churning out non-stop viral videos of tactical operations and immigration raids.
ICE's ability to dominate the internet has come to serve as a blueprint for other Trump administration agencies, and their relentless focus on virality is already reshaping public opinion on immigrants.
Drew Harwell is a reporter at The Washington Post and he recently published an investigation into ICE's social media blitz. He joins me to:
Reveal the inside information he uncovered about how ICE's internet meme team operates
Expose what ICE's internal chat logs reveal about their approach to the internet
The Gen Z clip farming operation ICE is employing
Break down how a previously under the radar federal law enforcement group became an “influencer-style media machine”
