ICE is a disgusting organization based on disgusting lies and operated by disgusting people. If it's not evident now - the problem probably isn't a politically fixable one.

The real issue is US immigration law. It's been a racist load of claptrap starting with the Immigration Act of 1924. Nothing's improved so this one MUST be on the votes to fix.

Yes, also - the active concentration camps and mass kidnappings pose an even more clear and present danger.....

From the same state that brought you the School Bus Riots from '74 to '76. Took 'em 20 years to desegregate.
