Introducing “ICE: Deporter 2.0”
In an astonishing leap forward for both federal enforcement and emotional repression, the U.S. government today unveiled ICE: Deporter 2.0 — a mobile app that doesn’t just track people, it tracks your feelings about the people ICE is targeting.
Forget ordinary surveillance: this app will deport your empathy, evict your compassion, and auto-ban any urge to think critically about federal power.
Features include:
Mood Meter: Automatically deletes any emotion labeled “empathy” once you open the app
Trigger Alerts: Sends you push notifications whenever you feel bad about an ICE raid
Auto-Remorse Removal: Syncs with your Spotify account and only pulls the ads Spotify finally dumped after public backlash because users were canceling accounts in protest.
That’s right: now you don’t just round up populations; you round up your psyche.
All the Deportations, None of the Feelings
The official press release for Deporter 2.0 was short, cryptic, and astonishingly tone-deaf. It read, in part:
“We heard the people want accountability, so we built something that sidesteps accountability forever.”
That’s not a joke. That’s exactly the spirit of a product that promises:
Emotional Buffer Zones: so you never again feel discomfort about federal tactical operations
Cognitive Firewall: blocks all news stories that might make you think about families separated by enforcement
Integrity Eraser: forbids journalists and academics from asking too many questions
This is the digital future that lawmakers promise when they talk about “efficiency,” and the app even comes with a premium version that costs your humanity.
Syncs With Spotify (But Only the Good Bits)
In a bizarre twist of corporate synergy, Deporter 2.0 offers selective Spotify integration.
The app won’t play your favorite playlist — instead, it scours your history for artists who’ve publicly criticized ICE ads running on streaming — you know, the ads that sparked protests among users and musicians alike.
Once the app identifies protests in your listening habits, it immediately replaces those tracks with a loop of government recruitment jingles promising cushy hiring bonuses and “making America safe.”
Because if you can’t feel shame, at least you can hear it on repeat.
