Obama-Era CNN Segment Shows Different ICE Coverage Compared to Trump Years

The segment concluded with the following on-screen graphic: “On this day ICE detained 6 for possible deportation. 2 of them were released because they didn’t have criminal records.”

The target was shown being arrested as Brown informed viewers that ICE had surveillance on the person for “a while.”

X account @mazemoore dug up and shared the video, noting that CNN didn’t appear critical of ICE at the time.

However, conservatives say that the ten-year-old segment shows how media outlets covered ICE more favorably under Obama than under Trump, when ICE has mostly been criticized for how it enforces immigration laws.
