Why? was there high demand to talk with ICE supporters?
What? Do you actually think Bluesky is full of ICE supporters? Most of my feed right now is full of support for protests against ICE, calls for it to be abolished, and hate towards democrat reps that are too cowardly to commit to abolishing it.
I just searched ICE and clicked top, the first two posts are some ICE Nazis busting ass on actual ice, and the third is just a post that says abolish ICE. The rest are all pretty similar.
I don't think the site is but the people who own it are.
I can't find any evidence of that at all, but even if it is true, that still wouldn't mean federating Bluesky has anything to do with a high demand to talk with ICE supporters.
Today (a couple of days after your post), ICE now has a verified account on Bluesky.

also, one of the people on the team infamously went against a woman talking about her husband being ICED. if you search around it's fairly easy to find.
