Abolish ICE is not an absurdity statement. ICE was created in 2003 as a response to 9/11 - we do not need it. We already established that following orders isn't an excuse.

Nobody who behaves this way can possibly be intending to let the opposition ever again have their hands on the levers of power.
There’s a word for a person and a movement who has that attitude toward the opposition.

Trump is the author of this hell but he writex it with tools preserved, expanded, and ultimately sustained by first Obama and later Biden. Detaining a legal permanent resident for campus protest, under the flimsy pretense of aiding terror, can only be done with tools Bush built & Obama sustained.

Major media have found a soft and tidy term for Republican attempts to steal elections: “reversal.”
WaPo says Trump engaged in “election-reversal efforts” in the Jan. 6 coup attempt. NYT says when NC Republicans try to nullify 60K votes to steal a court seat, they just want to “reverse” their loss.
