Tel-Chai Nation

One of prime time TV's most insufferably leftist series, or more specifically, one of its equally notorious spinoffs, has taken to depicting immigration enforcement in the USA as the villains, while making interlopers look like saints:

The season premiere of NBC police drama Law & Order: SVU went hard against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), portraying them as the episode’s villains who invade ongoing court proceedings, are seen arresting New York Police officers, and are accused of protecting rapists.

The episode, entitled “In the Wind,” begins with a rape being witnessed by an illegal alien named Ruiz (Juan Francisco Villa), who agrees to testify against the accused rapist in court.

But when the court date nears, Ruiz seems to be missing, and Captain Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) goes to his apartment. When she arrives, she finds an ICE action going on and Ruiz has fled the scene to avoid being picked up by immigration officials.

Assistant District Attorney Sonny Carisi (Peter Scanavino) goes to the judge and accuses the lawyer for the accused rapist of calling in ICE to raid the building where Ruiz lives in order to block his testimony in the rape trial. It is also revealed that Ruiz has a drug arrest from 15 years prior.

Naturally, the SVU officers portray the drug conviction as a “bogus charge” because apparently no illegal is ever legitimately accused of a crime.

Despite the ICE action, the judge tells Carisi that the case will go on and if Ruiz doesn’t show, then that is too bad for the prosecution. This sets the episode up for Benson and her officers to track Ruiz down so he can appear in court to help convict a rapist.

As an aside, the “rapist” in the episode is a white man (Cayleb Long) who owns an apartment building where two women are raped. So, not only are ICE the bad guys, but the rapist is a white landowner.

All the expected cliches are in the episode, disgustingly enough. It was already bad enough the flagship series was revived at least a few years ago, and now, the spinoff is proving equally damaging to the country's morale in the stories it tells. Ugh. No doubt, the network is keeping it on the air, expenses notwithstanding, just so they can push all the indoctrinating propaganda they want at all costs. Either way, it's sad if anybody continues wasting time on what was one of the worst franchises to come down the pike in the past 35 years.

Update: Michael Cantrell says:

I guess subtlety is not a term the show's writers are familiar with. Then again, this is just more of the same propaganda that's been pervasive in the modern entertainment industry for years now. As we progress through President Donald Trump's second term in office, the anti-American, anti-conservative messaging is getting more on the nose.

Even early on in the franchise's run, they were getting to that point, and it's even more unbearable now.
