The article from The Boston Globe argues that President Trump may be intentionally withholding clear information about ICE raids, creating an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty among immigrant communities. By allowing misinformation and rumors about widespread deportations to circulate unchecked, the administration fosters a perception of a grand deportation plan, which aligns with Trump’s hardline immigration rhetoric and appeals to his political base. This strategy not only instills panic but also reinforces a narrative of strict immigration enforcement, satisfying supporters who favor aggressive policies. The article critiques this approach as a deliberate tactic to manipulate public perception and maintain political loyalty, while ignoring the real harm caused to immigrant families living in constant fear.
