Featured review
I spoke to a few folks in related police, immigration, and government roles. They said this is just not possible. It is compelling to imagine how "bad" ICE can be, but the story grossly exaggerates the process and creates artificial political drama around how families are treated. It just would not happen that way. There are some very bad things happening with non-citizens being deported, but this over-the-top dramatic portrayal creates undue fear and hatred for the process. There is reason to be concerned about the police and ICE for sure, but this dramatization takes it too far and makes these people look cold and evil when they are enforcing the law, which is a shame. The director wrote a fiction story and presented it as reality.
