Win? Like a fucking gameshow? That’s absolutely fucked.
Edit:
For anyone that happens to find this comment, the reality show was pitched to DHS. There’s no evidence it went past the point of someone going “Hey DHS I have this horrible idea I want to make money off of”. It’s kind of like getting a spam call about your car’s extended warranty and then CNN reporting “Wizardbeard making plans to extend car warranty”. You can find this in the CNN report linked below about it.
Separately, Dr. Phil has been traveling with ICE, officially to get first hand experience for reporting on the situation for the right wing “news” channel he’s part of now.
These could be related, but there’s no evidence so far that they actually are. ICE and DHS are so distressingly awful that we don’t need to speculate and stretch to find extra things to be disgusted about.
This is filming is the beginning of that show they mentioned a few months ago where people win citizenship. We are fucked.

Imagine hunger games where failure is “an helicopter ride”
It’s fucking awful. It’s unconscionable.
Precisely that. https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/16/politics/dhs-vetting-immigrant-reality-tv-show
Not like a game show; no.
Win… Citizenship?
Trump treats citizenship as a commodity. He’s literally selling it to rich white south Africans.
He treats everything like a commodity.
I’m equally confused.
