IIRC, you're former Navy. You know damn well that ICE isn't functioning anywhere near as efficiently as the SS, they are just emulating them badly with "better technology."

It's mildly ironic that IBM and cocaine are more effective than AI and whatever meth they are handing these rabid chipmunks.

Edit: also if what I recall is accurate, your username Doesn't check out, Petty Officer.

Well the SS were a lot more effective once all the really thick ones were killed off. Of course with ICE that would be a total extinction event because the entire organisation doesn't have six brain cells spread between them.
