Local media can’t seem to figure out a very basic story about an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest in White Center over the weekend.

KING 5 that “people thought they were watching ICE agents make an arrest Saturday in White Center, but with the agents wearing face masks and no ICE markings on their vests, the arrest details remain unclear.”聽The Seattle Times聽columnist Danny Westneat, meanwhile, the media couldn’t quite figure out what happened.

“Were these ICE agents? None of them wore uniforms that identified them as ICE or DHS, for Department of Homeland Security. They rolled up looking for all the world like a squad that might stick up the place. Which, at a pawnshop that sells guns, is not an idle concern,” he wrote.

Yes, they were ICE agents. This media member found it quite easily.

We reported what happened on Monday

As “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH , it was indeed an ICE raid.

The woman who was arrested, according to ICE Seattle, is an illegal immigrant with a criminal history for DWI in San Antonio, Texas. On a charge of prostitution, ICE Seattle tells me she skipped town to avoid legal consequences. This seems like a run-of-the-mill arrest of an illegal immigrant. If you’re in this country illegally, even without a criminal history, you will be subject to arrest at any point.

How did I get this information from ICE Seattle? I just asked specific questions in good faith.

Here is what’s cruel…

Westneat dramatically calls the arrests “mass deportation” and “cruel theater.” Right.

But what’s cruel is forcing readers and viewers to consume shoddy activist journalism masquerading as a compassionate and serious exploration of the impacts of immigration law.

The reality is that it doesn’t matter that the woman, per ICE, drove while intoxicated. Left-wing media members don’t seem to believe DWI or DUI is sufficiently serious to result in a deportation. One wonders if they’ll defend Raul Benitez-Santana from deportation over a decade from now when he’s released from prison after being of crashing into 鈥 and killing 鈥 Washington State Patrol Trooper Christopher Gadd.

What was cruel was opening our borders for three and a half years, inviting in unvetted illegal immigrants, then pretending that they would never be arrested and deported for their crimes.
