‘If you want some entertainment, wear this and watch illegals run away’.
A jacket similar to those worn by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents has become a best-seller on Amazon. The garment, made by The Goozler brand, ranks first among the jackets and coats category on the platform owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, with more than 200 units sold in the last month alone. This success has sparked a growing debate on social media about its implications and the associated risks.
At a recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) event, host Jason Selvig interviewed an attendee wearing one of these garments. When questioned about his attire, the man admitted that he had no connection to the agency and mentioned that the jacket cost $29.99 on Amazon. He added wryly: “If you want some entertainment, wear this and go to a Home Depot in a sanctuary city, like Washington, D.C., and you’ll see a lot of illegals start to run away. You feel like a group fitness instructor. It’s really good.”
His response made Selvig uncomfortable, and he ended the interview by saying that the interviewee was “one of the worst people” he had seen at CPAC.
“And that’s saying something.” But this is not an isolated incident. Reviews from customers who have purchased the jacket highlight their support for Trump’s security policy to “make America safe again,” which has further boosted the sale of these products. “We love supporting ICE officers and Border Patrol. They help keep our citizens safe,” wrote one buyer. Another said: “I bought it as a joke, but I have to say it was quite effective.”
