you don't even know what journalism is. the crazy shit they are saying is fucking important to report. imagine if no one documented the atrocities of nazi germany because they didn't want to "platform Hitler". you are out of your fucking tree. oh i know what will solve this, we'll just DEPLATFORM THE US GOVERMENT, THAT'LL FUCKIN' WORK, that's a real thing we can totally do and which will have positive consequences

This article isn't documenting the atrocities of ICE, it's uncritically repeating what ICE is saying about the atrocities

It's not commentary though, it's reporting - they made a claim (Ice hated, agents terrified) and then the rest of the article are examples of ice doing and saying things that support that claim. They're not condemning it because that isn't their goal, the goal is to show evidence of ICE's response to being widely condemned and generally reviled for being violent tools of a fascist state.
