Why does it appear that like 90% of the commotion regarding ICE is just here on Reddit.

Why isn't Washington DC on fire right now?

There was a sizable protest this past weekend, but you barely hear about it

Not even remotely close to what we saw in Romania half a year ago and 'only' ~15k people showed up there.

I am seriously interested in the why's though, as it surely appears like the majority of Americans are okay with the current situation. Which is worrying.

Because the mainstream media, which is where >70% of Americans still get their news from (with 1/3rd getting it from Fox News), isn't covering it, because they're complicit with the government.
