... I guess it's true that mass deportations and genocide and police brutality are more palatable when it's all done "quietly/civilly' and under a blue banner. Or I'm being too cynical here

It's what happened last time he was president shrug-outta-hecks also the reason why some users argued he was the "harm reduction candidate" out of the two parties. Boden deported more people than Trump 1, ICE has been around since Dubya (I think) and cops get more money every year. At least under Trump it's blatant and libs pay attention.

ICE is the rebrand INS went through after 9/11 and the creation of Homeland Security, my car is older than ICE.

The only thing I can think of when people mention INS is the Wu-Tang lyric. Anyway with the economy how it is and new things being worse than old things, you having a car that's older than ICE could mean anything between 6-60 years (I'm being cheeky, I understand what you mean)
