ICE now has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world and has increased spending on weapons.
It's also engaging in a race to recruit 10,000 new agents who will eventually be out in American streets.
Some will be vetted, but how many unqualified recruits will fall through the cracks?

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"
WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.
He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.
