New documentary investigates ICE operations in Trump's migrant crackdown
A documentary from French public broadcaster France Télévisions examines US President Donald Trump's tough immigration crackdown and ICE, the agency carrying it out. The film's co-writer, Marine Pradel, discussed it on France 24's Perspective.
A new documentary from France's public broadcaster France Télévisions looks at US President Donald Trump's relentless crackdown on immigration and at the agency that carries it out: United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as ICE. France 24, a sister channel of France Télévisions, reported on the film on 14 October.
The documentary is titled "ICE : La chasse à l'homme" in French and "A Manhunt Named ICE" in English. Its makers interviewed agents of the service as well as people whose lives have been turned upside down by ICE operations.
On France 24's programme Perspective, the film's co-writer Marine Pradel spoke about the project. The interview is available as a video of just over ten minutes.
The source material gives no further details about the film's findings, specific cases or figures. It states only that the documentary speaks to both sides: those who carry out the operations and those affected by them. The film focuses on how US immigration policy is carried out in practice, rather than only on political statements about it.
