2 weeks ago, the El Paso Medical Examiner ruled the death of a Cuban ICE detainee a homicide.
This time, when a 32-year-old Nicaraguan man died, ICE bypassed the county medical examiner in favor of a military facility. They won’t publicly release a ruling.

The reason "Abolish ICE" scares them so much is because it speaks to the power of political imagination. Our political imagination has been intentionally suppressed in favor of the stagnation and inertia of the short-term profit economy's political desires. This is existential as well as physical.

Worth noting that blocking someone you follow doesn't remove you from their follow list, so it's possible a chunk of those people don't realise they show up as still following him.
