I think this is one of Carrey's more effective pieces. The subject matter is one that is extremely emotional and provokes a strong response from the viewer. Many of his political pieces are almost comedic, but this one is an in your face visualization of the GOP's backwards and harmful policies. It accurately captures the traumatic nature of the event as well as highlighting the indifference of his administration towards the people they are detaining. The statue of liberty looks like an afterthought within the painting, but it does round out his message regarding the principles the country was founded upon. As this administration trundles on we will undoubtedly see more political pieces from Carrey. The result of the mid-term elections in November will determine if those future works contain a hesitant optimism, or a further theme of cynicism and ineptitude.

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore."

We also see the glaring eyes of Vice President Mike Pence in the piece. It is an affirmation that the entire administration is responsible and willingly constructs polices that inflict trauma on vulnerable people.

Carrey's depiction of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers separating a young daughter from her mother.

In the upper left of the painting, you can see the statue of liberty depicted as a yelling Trump caricature lighting fire to the American flag. The foundations of the U.S. were built upon immigration, and in Carrey's view Trump is burning and destroying those values.

I think the piece is very well done and convincingly conveys the message the artist was striving for. I think the weakness is Jim Carrey's caption he gave when he released it on twitter. The 1500 children stat isn't accurate and was a false piece of data that people used to attempt to discredit the artist and this particular piece.

An earlier piece by Carrey.

In ICE, the traumatic experience is depicted clearly and it invokes strong emotions in the viewer. The work is protesting a controversial policy put in place by the Republicans to address illegal immigration.
