ICE says its job is to stop illegal ‘ideas’ crossing the border in since-deleted X post

Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s job is to stop illegal ideas from crossing the U.S. border, according to a now-deleted social media post from the agency that drew condemnation on Thursday.

In a promotional graphic on X, ICE said they enforce over 400 federal laws to “ensure public safety and national security,” with the picture showing ICE will stop the crossings of people, money, products — and ideas. The post directs people to visit the ICE website.

The post by ICE comes a day after the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the agency, announced it would be surveilling the social media of foreign students and immigrants applying for permanent status or other immigration benefits to the United States for alleged antisemitic activity, in a push to “protect the homeland from extremists” and “terrorist sympathizers.”

ICE told POLITICO that the post was put up in error, and that it is drafting a new post that will include “intellectual property” — not ideas.

4. Why not just ban ideas, research, debate, thinking......

Ban all non-supervised conversation. Ban all books not state-approved. Ban coloring outside the lines.
