    Unfortunately, ICE does a lot of things other than being Trump’s personal paramilitary force. Either we can continue to fund it, but at a reduced level, or we need to replace it. Honestly we probably need to replace it at this point, because ICE has such a bad reputation that good people will be discouraged from taking a job there.

      Or we could simply not abduct and terrorize immigrants for literally no reason (beyond racism).

      Germany still prosecutes people who guarded their concentration camps. That’s what should happen to every single member of ICE. They knew.

        Well yes, but those were blue collar workers, not scientists and administration.

      we didnt have ICE at all until 2003, and we seemed to have been fine. Were we like-- living in caves and engaging in canibalism in 2003? I dont think we were.

      Was the country better or worse off before 2003? …Better right? By a lot. So who cares if people are discouraged from taking a job at ICE. If they are that gives me a ray of hope that some Americans are fundamentally decent people.
