your straw man is misrepresenting the scale of violence ICE has inflicted on communities across the country. the article states it was after Alex Pirettis death that he was inspired to act. ICE has killed many people across the country during activities which they have no business conducting. A man in Houston was killed last week, then days later, another in Maine. They’ve shot citizens and fabricated evidence to cover up their actions in multiple instances.
Wake the fuck up and stop trying to whatabout your way to a more comfortable mental state.

typical police activity protected by impunity in this country.
i don’t think statements like this help reinforce how serious the situation is; rather, it subtly normalizes it.
Normal/not normal is a matter of opinion.
It sounds like it is normal for majority of political elite as well as voters, since this is not top of political agenda in this country.
It is not normal from my point of view, but I am not sure what can I do about this.
