It’s part of ICE’s job to inspect foreign factories for slave labor.

China is using, at minimum, 4 million people in slave factories (basically jail) to produce products. They’ve banned ICE since 2009 over disputes around the meaning of “visit” vs “inspection”.

To see the media recently reporting “slave labor” in Texas border camps is the height of hypocrisy.

Why is it hypocritical? Just because the Chinese are worse doesn't excuse the US. Nor should the US use China as a basis for comparison when it comes to respect for human rights - that's a pretty low bar
