Several people have died in ICE custody and because of ICE detention. Renee Goode’s murder is a crime everyone could plainly see but make no mistake, there are many families who will never see their father, mother, sibling, or parent again because of ICE.

There's a fucking video of ICE mercing a driver on the timeline, turn off auto play NOW
(and seriously do not share that, come on, you do not need to boil yourself in trauma to feel like you're doing something)
If you do see it? IMMEDIATELY play Tetris for about 5 minutes. Research proves it out.
