ICE has documented a rising death toll in custody — 17 deaths in 2026 alone — and civil rights groups have documented aggressive enforcement tactics against immigrants and protesters. The post uses these real patterns to argue the US applies a double standard on political violence, but conflates ICE deaths (which stem from custodial conditions and enforcement actions) with intentional bombing of civilian targets in Iran, creating a false equivalence that obscures the different mechanisms and contexts. The post omits that one major instance of political violence it references — the Correspondents' Dinner chaos — involved assassination attempts on Trump, which contradicts its framing that only state violence is accepted.
