ICE is behaving like slave catchers did before Emancipation. They were gangs of hired thugs looking for freed and escaped slaves so that they could kidnap them. They got paid to do this.

There will come a time when ICE will begin downsizing and the first to go will be ICE personnel who are not white.

And since the SCROTUS has been supportive of Trump firing people, the TOKENS working for ICE won't have a leg to stand on!!!
