History buff. Let’s not repeat history. Avocations: Writing poetry, photography, creative crafts. Empathy is not weakness. Spiritual seeker. Getting angrier by the day with institutions failing Americans by not standing up to tyranny.

ICE isn’t making rare mistakes. This is the point.
When an agency can grab people first and sort out rights later, if they bother at all, everyone is at risk. Citizen or not.

stop talking like there is any possibility of making ICE a better ICE. It’s not happening.

What are you saying? “Let’s make slave catchers nicer.” It’s moral nonsense.

What is the end game for ICE? Terrorize one city and move to the next?
How many "illegals" are they actually finding for all this effort?
Seems like we should be hearing about high numbers being found but we are not because that's not what this seems to be about.
