Prompt: Political cartoons often use exaggeration and symbolism to make a point, and they can also serve as important visual sources for analysis. What is being criticized in this image? What does this source suggest about the issue, and what does the cartoonist want the audience to question or reconsider?

Prompt Response: This cartoon is criticizing Trump and ICE. It shows how some leaders use conflicts overseas to try to distract people from problems in their own country. The cartoon shows problems in America, illustrating the Big Beautiful Bill crushing Uncle Sam, and the ICE worker kicking Uncle Sam. I think the author made this to get people to see what's happening in the U.S.
Summary: We worked in our groups
Reflection: I agree with the cartoon.
