I did not watch Immigration Nation because of the violence; however, I did watch Under the Same Moon. I think one of the main messages that the movie wants to portray is that many immigrants come with the idea of reuniting with family or providing for their family. Along the way, they often face a lot of problems and situations that are very dangerous, but they continue despite the risk.

As I watched the first episode of immigration nation, I was continuously infuriated by the ICE agents. The way they treated human lives like a game and they were somehow gonna get a prize by getting the "highest score". It especially disgusted me by how excited the one agent got when she was told she could bring in "collaterals" as if it was the best thing that could happen.

When I watched Immigration Nation last week I remember feeling absolutely repulsed and dumbfounded at seeing the ICE officers' attitude towards the people they were deporting. Joking, taking phone videos, and talking about how excited you are to "get out on the field" to deport someone in front of their family is disgusting on every level. I can't imagine how they can live with themselves after this kind of behavior, but I'm guessing that these officers become desensititzed from it all after doing it for so long. I hated how they acted like it was a "sacrifice" to overlook their emotions or that they "had to" keep working for ICE. Why not be a different kind of cop or work anywhere else? You have a choice here and you are not the victim or a hero.

Watching the first episode of "Immigration Nation" was the absolute worst thing. The way that they talk about deporting people just because they don't have papers or as they say follow the law is something else. They don't understand that they know that they're breaking the laws but they're doing it in order to have a better life for them and their family. Also, the way that ICE talks about how they like this job just because of the money shows what they're really in the business for. They're just in it for the money

I watched the first episode of the Immigration Nation Netflix show, and I must say, it got me fired up. I wanted to punch some of those ICE officers honestly...of course that would solve nothing though. It makes me so mad to hear some of these ICE officers say that they are "law enforcement officers" so they simply have to "follow orders" and "uphold the law" when the orders and the law are completely inhumane. All they have to do is quit! I believe that these ICE officers have been brainwashed by the money that they earn, so they no longer see an immigrant as another human, they see him/her as a paycheck.

I am currently 3 minutes into the 1st episode of "Immigrant Nation" and I'm already disgusted. As they're taking away this man to be deported, the ICE officer says  "good game" as if he isn't uprooting people out of their homes and disrupting their lives.

I watched the 2018 film, A 3 Minute Hug. The film was about families reconnecting at the US/Mexico borders after being separated. The filmmakers capture the long awaited reunification with the help of the Border Network for Human Rights. Over 300 families were reunited and were able to finally see their loved ones after being denied asylum, deportation, or separated for several years. It was a bittersweet moment for me to watch. It was a beautiful moment to see families reunite, but then the guards called time and everyone had to go back to their sides. Three minutes isn't long enough for families to reconnect. There's barely enough time to say hi because most of them were crying and in the moment of holding their loved ones in their arms.

Episode 1 of "Immigration Nation"
It is human nature to see what they want to see or get out of a Movie or Video-after all most people are bias in more ways than one, with that being said...I wish someone inside "The 26 Building in New York", would point  his/her finger to the poster on the wall! _ to remind those Agents of what ICE should stand for:
ICE: Integrity; Courage; Excelence the "core values of this branch of the DHS.
Out all the agents presented in the show only ONE! could be considered an officer, and a gentleman that'
s Agent:  Brian X.
Everybody else in the teams shown, reminded me of the brain-washing that goes on in all Law Enforcement Agencies in America!
Now as far as what the argument of the show's producer is -well like I said people see what they want to see in a show, and "What I chose to see is" that the producer's argument is that DHS as an agency, lacks integrity! and practices [immigration] enforcement similar to the one practice in Auschwitz.
Trump's policies are not dissimilar to Nazy -Germany's policies, trying to brain wash people to believe his statements.  Throughout Episode One of Immigration Nation the  footage only shows ONE  black person and ONE white individual in the detention pen everybody else was  from several Latin American Countries and ONE from the Caribbean region, which clearly contradicts the female and male team leaders-agents statements that they don't pick, and choose who to pick up (arrest).
It is my humble opinion that America like all other great civilizations such as the Romans will cease to exist, and its demise will be the arrogance, and ego of all those American people that like Trump, they think that they are the best at everything, and only They should be allowed to called themselves Americans -only they should exist!
"A wise man once said: The men that forgets about their past...are condemned to relive it".
My final words are that this new generation will be the change, they are smarter than all others that preceded them.
So please...Let's not help those Trump-type people, turn America into another Nazy Germany! -your children, and theirs -will forever thank you!.

At 10:38 An officer asked questions to why he does his job. One of his main arguments was that he “makes good money”. This man’s job is to import people back into their country sometimes ruining families and destroying someone’s life. Does this put a price on human life?

It disturbs me how the police officers find so much enjoyment. Sometimes a job is a job and it’s not personal. But here, these cops are recording videos and laughing at them. Weird.

I watched 3 minute hug. it was about family's who  live on different sides of the boarder being able to them close up and give them a hug.

I think that the director's intention with the documentary basing on the first episode is to show both sides of ICE and those who are undocumented. At first, I was comprehensive and thought that the documentary was made against ICE, but I was suprised that some of them actually handled the arrest better, with little violence and more of communication instead. I appreciate that some of them are aware that what they are doing might appear wrong and inhumane as well as the fact that they try their best to do in a way where the immigrants are compliant and they allow them to say their goodbyes to their families, however, I do think there were certain actions that ICE did that was too far and unncessary. As a person, I think some of them could've treated those who were arrested more nicely especially because they might be a state of shock and worry. As a migrant and a minority, my heart goes towards the families, especially to those parents and children who are separated from each other and are uncertain whether they will be reunited again.

I really felt devastated after watching Immigration Nation. It is clear that -most- of these agents do not care about the well being of these illegals and neither does our president. They laugh and don't look at them as people but as another number to add to their book of achievements. The zero-tolerance policy is allowing ICE to detain over double what they did before Trump's reign. It was so hard to watch grown men break down about their babies, and the lead agent of ICE being unable to say that it is inhumane how the children and adults are treated. These parents have no idea where their children including infants could be or if they are safe.  It's just so disgusting that we can treat these humans as animals, separating them from their babies and making them sleep on cold tile in cages with foil blankets.

I watched a movie called Moscow on the Hudson. It was about a guy from Russia who declared defect to live in New York during the Cold War after originally coming there for a rehearsal. He encountered other immigrants who found the American Dream can be bumpy. He had ups and downs during his stay but he made it work in the end. This mainly talks about how in America there is freedom for anyone. America isn't what it seems at first, but with time you will be able to understand. It also shows that you shouldn't lose your way whether you are Russian or American; being proud of both and having freedom is what matters.

I watched the documentary I think the director was trying to show both sides and I think he gave a fair look into it. On the Ice side you saw the good and the bad people, I think the main take away for me was that all these people are here trying to make a better life and because of trumps new law most of them who are hard working people are getting deported for no reason. This documentary brought up a lot of emotions but I would like to continue watching to see how it ends

# data[].attributes.body
Before watching I assumed the same as all my other classmates that the documentary was going to be out how bad ICE really is but it was really just to give a better understanding on what really goes on and how their policies are at these times and show that sometimes there are situations in which they can be cruel and evil

I didn't watch Immigration Nation but I watched a film called "A Better Life". It was a film about a father and his son. The father was his only parent and was trying to make a living for him and his son. He works as a laborer can't drive since he's an illegal immigrant without a license. He gets rides from a friend I would say but the friend decides to go back to Mexico so the father doesn't have a ride to take him to work so he decides to buy a truck because it was best for him and his son. He offers a man a ride since him and that man were the only ones that didn't get picked up when trying to find someone to take them to work. So the man got into the car and the man stole his truck. He decided to find the man and his truck. They eventually did and he had to steal it back from a dealer since the man sold the car. He stole it back with his son and got caught by the police and sadly got deported. The main point of this film was to tell people how immigrants struggle and what can happen if they do something like that if they get caught. It was a really sad film to watch. This film showed how the father sees the world passing him by and doesn't have a lot of control over it as an undocumented immigrant.

I think that the directors main point of making this episode is to emphasize the effects of Donald Trumps zero-tolerance policy on families. This episode doesn't necessarily classify the ICE as evil or heartless, but as people with the mindset that this is their job. While some ICE seem passionate about their job without any remorse, others show understanding, towards these people who are being deported and separated from their families. The director wants to bring to light the inhumane treatment that immigrants faced such as children being separated from their families and put in facilities that are not necessarily child friendly. Thus, throughout this episode I felt sympathetic for these families, who were searching for a sense of opportunity for themselves and their children.

As I began to watch the documentary I got a feeling that the ICE agents were going to brutally use force against the people. ICE is usually drawn out to be the bad guys. As I continued to watch the documentary they showed that ICE members are just trying to do their jobs. There are some ICE agents that are there just for the money and it is not fair to the immigrants who are terrified of getting deported. I think the authors argument is to show the real measures an immigrant goes through as they are just trying to gain asylum.

In my opinion I believe that the ICE detainment officers were gonna be depicted as the villain. Before I watched it I thought that ICE was gonna be the bad guys and there were what the people were terrified of. in my class we had gone through ways to deal with those detainment officers, but after watching this documentary or show i realized that the abuse of power wasn't ICE but rather the policies that are being passes. When the instructor talked about the uncertainty of their job saying they might only have two hours to respond to a change in policies. While many may thing thats enough but we don't the true life of these officers and how they have to respond. I think the main reason why the director and writers had put this on Netflix was to show the true life of an immigrant being taken and the laws that are changing over time. As one of my peers said they talked about the criminals were targeted and now everyone is targeted. We can see a bigger picture, but not everything.

# data[].attributes.body
As a continued to watch through the episode I noticed how they showed ICE to be a just federal working police officers working under the immigration branch. Instead they were blaming everything on the policies that they had to carry out, saying how at first they would target immigrants a crime background, but now target people who immigrated illegally and if there happens to be more at the scene then they'll count them as "collaterals" and take them in. Something else that I found dumb was when there was a scene of an ICE Officer talking to his boss and the boss said, "I don't care what you do, but bring at least two people in" what I got from this was that these people at ICE don't care about what it is that they do or how they do it as long as they get paid and the ICE officer goes on to say how it was "stupid" of him to say that, so that goes to show how some ICE officers think while doing their job.

What I can appreciate is the mostly unbiased, but I can't say I came into it without my own bias. As an immigrant myself, I can barely even imagine the experience many people go through living in fear of being deported. While I'm all in support for catching criminals, it felt like some ICE agents were just trying to keep up numbers. Hearing how agents were telling children and parents they were never going to see each other again was horrifying. I can appreciate there are agents who are aware of what's going on, but I can't help but feel they're numb to what's going on, I mean they have to. And I can't fully blame them, but that doesn't fully exonerate them from the institution they're partaking in. As of now, children, humans are being locked up in cages with little caution for COVID 19. There are allegations of abuse and hysterectomies. Despite all my biases, I can appreciate the director's choice of showing the human side of both sides. I won't say all ICE agents are evil or all deportees and immigrants are innocent, but there is human side of this whole problem being grossly neglected. Because at the end of the day, ICE Agents have to follow policies and laws, despite what it effect it may have.

Before watching the first episode of Immigration Nation, I thought the show was just going to discuss how bad the ICE was and how everyone who worked for it was evil, but I was wrong. In the episode, while it was made very clear that the way ICE (especially the agents at the border) went about dealing with illegal immigrants was wrong, the episode did not paint the agents as bad guys. They instead attempted to show that the policies being carried out were wrong and rather cruel at times. The episode showed both sides of the policies and I think that the director's main message was to give insight into both parties so that the people watching could see the whole picture, which is not always shown.
