About this audiobook

Forget the slogans. Forget the staged images. ICE Unmasked tears apart the media narrative and exposes the truth behind 20 myths that shaped America’s immigration wars. No, ICE isn’t a modern Gestapo. No, the so-called “mass raids,” “kids in cages,” or “systematic separations” aren’t what you’ve been told. Backed by official reports, firsthand accounts, and verified data, Miguel Thornton dismantles the propaganda that turned law enforcement into a villain. The result is a bold, fact-driven look at an agency caught between political hysteria and national security — and a reminder that truth still matters in a nation addicted to outrage.
