The thing about ICE agents is that they literally get off on causing pain. If they didn’t work for ICE, they’d be bouncers, cops who keep getting fired for brutality or straight up criminal thugs.They love hurting people, making children cry. They are broken people with badges. Dangerous as hell.

So Weiss will remain editor in chief and CEO of The Free Press and editor in chief of CBS News, so they’re not hiding the conflict here? The head of CBS News, supposedly impartial and nonpartisan, will also simultaneously be running a highly partisan site.
