Hungarian here, one of my great-grandfathers were arrested during 1956 for being at the wrong place, the secret police tortured him until he confessed crimes he didn't commit, and he was lucky he didn't get either death penalty, or tortured so severely that it would have turned him disabled for the rest of his life. He was later (circa 2010) advised to stop talking about it being the result of arrest quotas, due to potential foreign regime changes in the future (!) by anti communist NGOs after 2010, now I know why.

ICE operates like every other secret police ever, including communist ones. Arrest/shoot/deport first, cover up later, torture people until they confess some heinious crimes.
