Part 15/16:
In New York City, chaos erupted when federal agents attempted to execute immigration enforcement at a courthouse. A bystander photographer was forcibly ejected, then fell, injuring himself and requiring hospitalization. DHS officials defended the aggressive tactics by citing recent attacks on immigration enforcement officers, but critics deride the incident as theatrical and unnecessary.
Adding to the controversy, the media—particularly outlets sympathetic to progressive narratives—portrays these enforcement actions as overreach or violence, fueling distrust and polarization. Meanwhile, concerns about unchecked illegal immigration persist, with many arguing that policies favoring mass amnesty and open borders have eroded public confidence and safety.
