So why is it your first sentence here? Why is it a story? Or why don't you connect things and make the story "Trump Administration keeps making claims without evidence" and then list off all of its baseless claims. That feels like it might be an important story.

I think everyone - especially news organizations like NPR - should assume from the start *that anything ICE claims* regarding protestor actions and assaults on ICE are lies. Full stop. ICE should not be given the benefit of the doubt, but rather, the application of doubt - until there's proof

Just perhaps that's because they've increased the number of ice officers by more than tenfold in that period? Also when you're disappearing people off the street while you're masked with what wearing any identification, expect to get people pushing back.

Is the assault in the room with us right now? Or are they counting assaults on other people as assaults on them? "I body slammed that lady and pulled something in my back. tHaT's aSsAuLt!" Yeah...THOSE are probably up 1000%!

Disappointed with the gentle reporting during this period in history. They yanked your fed funding. Toughen up. Shoot straight. Call lies "Lies". Make us *want* to donate to a critical 4th estate. Be a check against power. This steady-as-she-goes, don't-rock-the-boat crap was for yesterday.

ICE also falsely claims assaults any time contact is made, even if initiated by the officer. Typical bad cop gambit: rough up an arrested and then claim resisting arrest and assault. All BS but it slows down investigation into cop misconduct.

They've cried wolf so many times. It sure would be a shame if a couple hundred-thousand wolves suddenly started kicking the crap out of specific people and nobody believed it.

"Former FBI agent and leader Bob Pence said that when law enforcement officers engage in hype or make outright misleading statements, it jeopardizes trust in the criminal justice system."

From zero to one is "more than 1,000%". Unreliable stats (lies) from the Govt led by a bumbling retard who fired the country's employment statistician for telling uncomfortable truths and claims to have cut medicine prices by 1,000% 🤡 (any more than 100% and THEY pay YOU for taking their medicine).

Every accusation is a confession. Because all they know is brutality and force to terrorize and traumatize the citizenry they assume others will behave as they do. They tell on themselves constantly like toddlers.
