With illegal immigration being a focal point in Trump’s second term, we knew it wouldn’t be long before Hollywood would drum up sympathy for illegals again. So, Tuesday’s episode of CBS’s procedural drama FBI: Most Wanted, “Souls on ICE,” came as no surprise.
The episode depicted illegals as innocent, angelic victims. At the same time, those who want immigration laws enforced were shown as crazed, violent gang members who kidnap illegals to harvest their organs for money. (Yes, seriously.)
The episode opens with a Spanish female priest leading mass when what appear to be ICE agents raid the underground church:
Sharp: (Speaking Spanish) It’s okay. Hey, this is a sanctuary. You can't just bust in here.
Man: All right, I want all you women to stay where you are...
Sharp: Wait, this is an administrative warrant.
Man: And all the men, I want you up front.
Sharp: You need a judge's warrant!
Man: All the men, stand up and come to the front.
Alonzo: This raid is illegal. You can't do this.
Man: Shut your mouth and move your ass now! All right, all the men, I wanna see your IDs, papers, IDs. This guy. Hey, hey. Papers, ID. Where's your IDs?
Alonzo: I have a green card. It's at my house.
Man: That's not good enough. These two.
Sharp: No, no, no, no, no. These people have done nothing wrong! Who has a phone? Someone give me a phone. That's it. I'm calling the police.
Man: No, you're not. - Stop it!
Man 2: Good to go?
Man: Yep.
Man 2: Let's go. Move! Move! Go, go, go!
Man: Stay back!
Man 2: Let's go! Go, go, go! Move it!
Man: This one's negative.
Man 2: All right, cut him loose.
Man: You say a word about this to anyone, I'm gonna kill you and any family you have here from whatever disgusting country you come from. Comprende, amigo?
Parishioner: Yes, I understand. No! No! No!
Man: Adiós!
Parishioner: No! No!
Turns out, the men were posing as ICE agents. I can just see the writers brainstorming how to make ICE look bad without getting sued, then deciding on this storyline where everyone falls for the fake ICE raid (assault and all) because they believe ICE is truly that awful.
The female priest is “an outspoken advocate for migrants,” and won’t release the names of the kidnapped men because the church has a “large undocumented population”:
Barnes: Reverend Sharp?
Sharp: Ugh. There's more of you?
Hana: We're the FBI. We'd like to talk.
Sharp: You should be investigating Department of Homeland Security and their cronies at Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Barnes: Reverend, this is a forged document, not ICE. The men that stormed in here were impersonating them, seemingly to target undocumented people.
Sharp: This is a loving, kind, taxpaying community. Why do they have to be forced to live in fear?
Hana: Can you tell us what happened?
Sharp: We prepare for this. We hold our services in a safe room. I know not to open that door unless they have a judge's warrant. But in this case, they just busted in. And before I know it, they started rounding people up, specifically the men.
Barnes: You say mostly men. Could you give us an idea how many?
Sharp: I've said too much already. I mean, how do I know you're not just gonna arrest and deport them if you find them?
Hana: Because we're FBI, not ICE. We're here to help. These men might be in danger, and we need you to tell us everything you know, please.
Sharp: They took three. Alonzo Alvarez. He's in his 20s. He has a green card. His partner's American, might be willing to talk. The other two, Eduardo and Miguel, I don't know their last name or their immigration status. They show up off and on, don't usually stick around after service. T
Barnes: Thank you, Reverend. If you can think of anything else, please give us a call.
Sharp: These are Alonzo's. If you find him, I'm sure he'll want these back.
Barnes: We will find him. That's what we do.
There are thousands of Spanish church services across the country. The notion that they needed to worship in a secret, underground room with a locked door is just ridiculous.
Also, what denomination is this even supposed to be? There’s a rosary, so is it a Catholic Church? If so, then why the female priest? And why is one of the victims a deacon of the church but in an openly homosexual relationship, which the Bible forbids? #MakeItMakeSense
Hollywood usually treats liberal-favored religions and cultures with respect, bringing indigenous, Muslim, and other such people into the writer’s room to ensure they’re portrayed accurately and respectfully. But when it comes to Protestant or Catholic Christians, Hollywood just blindly throws out an amalgam of woke ideas and hope it flies.
When the FBI team interviews an immigration lawyer as well as the deacon's partner, there are more sympathetic portrayals of illegals:
Allen: Good morning, gentlemen. Andrea Allen, Center for Immigration Legal Services.
Remy: FBI agents Scott and Cannon.
Allen: FBI? Right.
Cannon: Do you know of any men impersonating ice?
Allen: One of my clients was accosted by a man outside of her workplace. He claimed to be ICE, demanded money in exchange for letting her stay in the country. She said it happened on the night of April 26th, around 11:15 P.M., outside of Dos Pedros over on Raymond.
Cannon: We could pull the street cams, see if we can ID his face.
Allen: Do you know why these men were kidnapped?
Remy: We don't have a motive yet.
Allen: I mean, do you know why the imposters targeted these men specifically?
Remy: Because they're a vulnerable group who are less likely to call the police.
Allen: Because they don't believe the police will even look for them.
Remy: Well, I look forward to proving them wrong. My team and I, we don't do things halfway.
Allen: Maybe you're the exception, but don't expect the people around here to take your word for it. Your actions will say more than your words ever could.
Hana: And you can't think of anyone that would specifically target Alonzo or wanna hurt him?
John: No, no. Other than your average bigotry, Al wouldn't be caught in anyone's crosshairs. He's by the book. It makes me crazy, but he drives under the speed limit. He insists on taking Lyfts even if there's the remote possibility of having a drink. I mean, he's a deacon at the church, for heaven's sake. So, I don't know who could…
Hana: John, we can slow down.
John: Alonzo asked if I would join him for church. And I'm not much for religion, and frankly, I don't know why he is after all he's been through, but had I been there, I…
Barnes: John, breathe. Why don't you take a seat? Can you think of anything that may have followed him from his home country here?
John: He doesn't say much, but Al has a very rocky relationship with his family.
Barnes: Because of his relationship with you?
John: They've come around somewhat, but it's been tough.
The team discovers the lead suspect is part of IKB- a Neo-Nazi, South African gang. Ironic considering the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and other illegal immigrant gangs like MS-13 that have terrorized Americans in real life.
When one suspect, Angel (Christopher Diaz), is shot, Remy (Dylan McDermott) and Cannon (Edwin Hodge) interrogate him in the hospital:
Cannon: FBI. We need the room.
Remy: Oh, your little boo-boo hurts? It can't be that bad, Angel. Bullet went right through. You're one lucky duck.
Angel: Well, I sure as hell don't feel lucky. Painkiller should have kicked in by now.
Remy: They haven't given you any, not until we're done interrogating you.
Cannon: Didn't want it to seem like we drugged you up in order to compel you to answer our questions.
Remy: That's right.
Angel: So I'm supposed to suffer in pain? Is that it?
Remy: Yeah. All we need is the names of your other crew members.
Angel: Well, screw you. I got nothing to say. How about that?
Cannon: Look, we know you're former military. You served in the Army as a field medic in Afghanistan before being dishonorably discharged. Is that where you met the goons you've been cosplaying as ICE with?
Angel: I don't know who you're talking about.
Remy: How'd you get into the organ harvesting business, by the way? Doing it for the money, or you just like to see innocent people suffer?
Angel: They're not innocent people. They're criminals invading this country.
Remy: Let me fix this for you. I don't want you to get cold. They're not invading the country. In most cases, they're fleeing violence and oppression. They're coming here in search of a better life, just like your family did.
Angel: My family came here from Cuba the right way. These freeloaders are skipping the line and showing up with their hands out, wanting us to give them everything.
Cannon: Oh, so you kidnap them? You steal their organs? Is that them paying their fair share?
Angel: They're not real Americans, and they deserve whatever happens to them. Lawyer. I want a lawyer. I want a lawyer.
Remy: Your ass is gonna need more than that.
Sigh. Yes, let’s make the person who is against illegal immigration an evil kidnapper and organ harvester who sees illegals as less than human and deserving of death.
Let’s pretend “most” illegals are here to escape oppression and ignore the thousands of criminals, gang members and drug cartels who’ve invaded our border, raped and murdered women, and trafficked humans. And let’s ignore the fact that no one needs to come here illegally, even those escaping oppression.
The team learns Angel is “really into conspiracy theories,” and has “a lot of anti-migrant posts” on his social media. He also posts that “men need to buff up and get ready for the war ahead.” He’s part of a white nationalist club that fronts as a gym and trains “aggrieved men” to be “soldiers for the Western world.”
The gym is owned by the lead suspect who is the “neo-Nazi Afrikaner.” He’s been recruiting members of his gym into the illegal organ harvesting ring.
One liberal viewer expressed dismay over the show being cancelled and proclaimed she could spot the liberal bias within the first 5 minutes of the episode:
Looking at the first 5 mins of #FBIMostWanted, I see why 🍊 and his loyalists wanted to have this show canceled. Shame on you @CBS for axing this wonderful show!

A conservative viewer wisely stopped watching once they caught onto the liberal propaganda:
Tried to watch FBI: Most Wanted & had to stop due to the liberal woke propaganda. They have white South African gang terrorists pretending to be ICE agents kidnapping 'innocent' church-loving illegals & harvesting their organs for sale! Oh, puhl-eese!

Thankfully, there’s only one episode left before this mess of a show is finally over for good!
