On Saturday in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, a pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and anti-Muslim hate rally organized by racist Jake Lang was abruptly aborted after Lang was swarmed by local residents and counterprotesters. The robust community response to the rally underscores the unpopularity of Trump’s “mass deportation” policies and attacks on immigrants.
It’s saying the rally was in favor of ICE and opposed to immigration and Muslims.
Yeah, but then why does it say “pro-immigration”? To be a proponent of something means supporting it. And those people hardly support people immigrating to their country.
The “immigration” in there belongs to “Immigration and Customs Enforcement”, which is the full name of ICE. So it’s saying that he’s pro-ICE, or pro-[Immigration and Customs Enforcement]. The hyphen is a bit confusing there.
It is poorly phrased.
ICE is short for “Immigration and Customs Enforcement”.
The next part is even phrased worse.
Anti-Muslim hate-rally would be a better phrasing, but “hate rally” is a weird phrase already. A good editor would have dropped “hate” from the phrase entirely.
So, rephrased: “a pro-ICE and Anti-Muslim rally”
