A recently resurfaced CNN segment from the Barack Obama era has reignited a national conversation regarding how mainstream media outlets have shifted their portrayal of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over the last decade. The footage, originally aired on May 31, 2016, features reporter Pamela Brown embedded with ICE agents in Chicago during a series of early-morning raids. Social media users and media critics are pointing to this broadcast as evidence of a more favorable, or at least neutral, approach to immigration enforcement reporting prior to the presidency of Donald Trump.
