I don't think in my lifetime there has ever been a U.S. federal agency as universally and deservedly hated (in this country, anyway) as ICE.

We should also talk more about how too many Republicans do not see entire swaths of people as actual people. You don’t casually muse about starting a war if you see troops as humans with lives and families. Normal people don’t fantasize about those from other countries dying for their own amusement.

The Americans follow the exact same war plan Russians had when they invaded Ukraine in 2014. At that time, the Russians created fake Donetsk and Luhansk "People's Republics."
