GOP Immigration Deportations: A Mirage Fueled by Google Manipulation
Recent reports of widespread ICE arrests across the US proved to be largely based on outdated press releases. A review revealed that numerous ICE press releases, some dating back over a decade, were manipulated to display a January 24, 2025, update timestamp, artificially boosting their search engine ranking and creating a false impression of recent activity. This tactic, likely employed to stoke fear among immigrant communities, highlights a potential strategy of disseminating misleading information through search engine optimization. Following inquiries from the Guardian, some of the manipulated press releases were subsequently corrected.
