People who don’t live in the USA, what is the media showing you about the ICE operations/abductions in the US?

Here in Denmark, the media coverage of that has recently been focused on Minneapolis after the shooting of Renee Good.
Before that, they did some stories about how various communities in the US, in particular those with a Latin American background, have been anxious and fearing deportation. Before Trump's second term started, there were also stories about how children have gone missing in detention centers.
There was also a story about how ICE has caused the farming sector to suffer, since they've been scaring off the migrant workers that US farms rely on for cheap labor.

in Australia even the Murdoch run media is saying that America is at war and showing kids running from masked ice agents in the streets like it’s ww2 in Europe

Canada: picture of a sweet scared little boy in a blue hat being abducted off the street. Source: CBC news.


Netherlands: that the Gestapo is walking around your country breaking down doors, pulling out citizens in their underwear and shooting peaceful observers of their brutality in the face. And that that's not even the worst as your leader has in just a year done damage to the country that will take a century to repair.
Edit: also I long for the day that our evening news bulletin does not start with something about the US. Everyday it's something new and usually worse

Dane here. They have been showing quite a bit about ICE continuously, it peaked with the murder of Renee Goode. Right now the focus is on Greenland, EU - U.S relationship, the massive insecurities trump has brought to the whole world order.
Its scary, when trump got elected last year i said to my friend "Im afraid there's going to be a new civil war in the U.S" .. are you on the verge of that now ?. Seeing brave folks standing up to ICE, the BPP recruiting? and ICE escalating in minnesota? Is ICE the same in other states ? You need a big purge in your political environment.. Truly hope the massive corruption, and this trajectory ends sooner than later.

I’m not fully aware of what’s been shown here in Australia, but here is some anecdotal evidence that the news is cutting through. 
In November I purchased a high end travel agency, we haven’t sold a single ticket to the USA since July. Not one. 
We’ve sold tickets to just about every other country in the world. Not one to America. 
The real drop in tourism numbers is still coming. I know it’s been bad but it’s going to get worse. 
FWIW. we sell about 800k of holidays per month. We’re making about 9 bookings per day. No one who wants a high end (spend lots of money) holiday is going anywhere near the USA.

Norway here. Not much. A little bit more than the civilian deaths in Sudan, Gaza, and Syria, a bit less than Ukraine. But no worries, enough that we have cottoned on to you essentially having the Gestapo in your streets now. And no, that is no exaggeration. Except Gestapo had a far smaller budget and fewer agents than ICE.

Canada is getting a fair amount of news.  Today it's all about the 5 year old kidnapped by those monsters.

Yesterday, Norwegian news (NRK) had a «highlights from Trump’s first year of presidency». Having all the dumbassery listed like that really made it sink in how totally mental he is.

I asked my sister, who lives in The Netherlands, this question earlier this week, and this was her response:
“People from all over the world here know Renee Good’s name. They’re worried about Greenland, but they’re more worried for Americans.”

Most of the media here in Sweden is basing their reports on The Atlantic and NYT, with some commentary from the ground. We’re mostly weirded out by how the government not only refused a proper investigation, they literally deny things we can see from many angles on actual video tape (that has been cleared of AI interference), just… brazenly. One of our main politicians once stepped down for accidentally not paying for a Toblerone Bar. I though the US had checks and balances?!?
The general feeling with ICE, and how the recruitment and training is handled( is is that we saw this before with the brown-shirts in Germany. I really, really hate to bring up the Nah-zees but that’s the vibe. Take beaten dogs, give them respect, power, and an adversary to hound, and you have an army in all but name. All you have to do is change who the adversary is.
