Michael Cohen - The ICE-Holes Are Back

Every child knows the story of the boy who cried wolf. It’s one of those bedtime parables we absorb before we can spell the word “consequence.” Lie enough times, exaggerate enough threats, and when the real danger comes, no one believes you. Help doesn’t arrive. Trust evaporates. And people get hurt.

That story is no longer a fable. It’s federal policy.

Because once again, under this Trump administration, ICE agents have shot and wounded civilians; this time two people in Portland, Oregon, outside a hospital. And once again, we’re handed a press-release morality play starring the same tired villain: a Venezuelan “illegal alien,” allegedly tied to the ever-convenient boogeyman, Tren de Aragua. Once again, we’re told the agents “feared for their lives.” Once again, the administration demands we take them at their word.

Here’s the problem: they’ve cried wolf too many times.
