The Victims of Outrage: How ICE Agents and Their Supporters Have Become the Real Victims in America.
The latest shooting death at the hands of an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent has been met with a familiar response from the MAGA crowd. Rather than acknowledging the actions of their agents, they are instead playing the victim themselves. The narrative being spun by ICE and its supporters is one of persecution and harassment by "violent" liberal protesters and law-abiding citizens.
This is not a new tactic for ICE or its supporters. For years, they have relied on this same strategy to deflect criticism and justify their actions. By portraying themselves as the victims, they are able to shift the focus away from the real issues at hand - such as the systemic mistreatment of immigrants and the brutal tactics used by agents like Jonathan Ross, who shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.
Good's death was a tragic reminder that ICE agents are not the heroes they claim to be. Rather than brave men fighting crime, they are often seen as thugs who use their power to intimidate and terrorize innocent people. The fact that Good was a mother, poet, and dedicated public servant only adds to her courage in standing up against ICE's violent tactics.
The response from MAGA has been predictable. Trump and his allies have quickly jumped on the bandwagon, denouncing Good as a "domestic terrorist" and portraying Ross as the real victim. This is a classic example of the DARVO tactic, where the perpetrator denies any wrongdoing, attacks the victim, reverses their roles to claim victimhood themselves, and often blames the victim for provoking them.
The ease with which ICE's supporters have fallen into this trap is alarming. It shows that they are more concerned with maintaining their own narrative than with actually addressing the issues at hand. By playing the victim, they are able to avoid accountability and continue to justify their actions without any real scrutiny.
It's time for a different approach. Rather than relying on tired tropes and false narratives, we need to focus on telling the truth about ICE and its supporters. We need to hold them accountable for their actions and not give in to their baseless claims of victimhood. Only then can we begin to build a more just and equitable society for all Americans.
The true victims of this narrative are the innocent people who have been hurt by ICE's actions, including Renee Good and her family. They deserve justice, compassion, and truth - not the false narratives spun by those in power.

and I started thinking about how some people's perception of "outcasts" can be kinda flipped on its head. Like, Renee Good's killer, Jonathan Ross, has to live with the guilt of killing an innocent person, but instead of owning up to it, he tries to play the victim. It's wild 
.
Newsflash: using a shooting death as an excuse for your actions doesn't make you a hero, it makes you a menace. We need to focus on telling the truth about ICE's actions and holding them accountable, not buying into their narratives. 
. i mean come on if you're gonna say we're the ones who are harassing and persecuting people then maybe dont have agents shoot and kill innocent moms like renee good that wasnt a victimhood narrative thats just plain wrong 
. what we need is real accountability not some dodgy tactic to deflect blame.
. We all know that systemic mistreatment of immigrants and brutal tactics used by agents like Jonathan Ross are real problems that need to be addressed, not swept under the rug.
? She was a mother, poet, and dedicated public servant who stood up against ICE's violent tactics out of love and justice for her community. Her bravery deserves our respect and admiration, not demonization 
.
. We can't keep ignoring the harm caused by ICE's policies and expect things to change on their own 
.
. The real victims here are the innocent people who have been hurt by ICE's actions – we need to be fighting for them, not perpetuating the narrative that they're somehow at fault 
.

. We deserve better than this narrative of "ICE agents as victims" 
. The real victims are the ones who have been hurt by these agents' actions, like Renee Good's family 
. But at the same time, we need to be careful not to demonize an entire group of people who may be doing their jobs with good intentions 
.
. But what about the agents who are genuinely trying to do the right thing? What about the families who have been torn apart by the system? We need to acknowledge both sides of the issue and try to find some middle ground 
. But let's not forget that we're all human beings, deserving of respect and compassion 
. Can't we just try to understand each other a little better? 
I know the MAGA crowd is gonna try to spin this as some kind of liberal attack on ICE, but it's not about that. It's about people losing their lives because they're fighting for a better future 
. We need to be having a real conversation about this stuff, not just parroting tired tropes and false narratives 
. The victims in these situations are always the ones who get lost in the noise, including Renee Good's family 
. We need to start giving them some real justice and compassion here 
, it's not okay that they're playing the victim and trying to shift the blame on others. The fact that they're using this tactic to deflect criticism is super concerning... I mean, can you imagine if a school principal tried to say they were being persecuted by students and teachers because of their policies? It just wouldn't fly 
. It's time for us to put aside our differences and demand some real accountability from those in power – before it's too late 
. It's about time we tell the truth about ICE & its supporters 
.
it's like they think we're all just gonna believe their BS about being "targeted" and "harassed" meanwhile there are people like Renee Good who were just fighting for what's right and got killed in the process 
it's time to stop playing games and start holding these people accountable
