    This one at least should be a low-hanging fruit that we can reasonably accomplish, because if anyone at this point still doesn’t see the clear need to abolish ICE and prosecute its agents and officials for their abuses of power and violations of constitutional rights, then they’re fucking hopeless.

    Time will tell whether the congressional leadership we’ll have going forward will be willing to push for this. All I can say is that they’d fucking better.

      Yeah, even though there does need to be some form of customs enforcement (even if just to prevent invasive species), ICE is so fucked that it’s best to start from scratch.

        Yeah but ICE doesn’t do customs inspections, that’s CBP.

        And while CBP could maybe use some reforms, from most of my interactions with them they seem pretty professional. Although I acknowledge that may be partially due to my relatively privileged demographic details. But still, they certainly don’t need to be abolished.

        ICE however needs to go. Fucking gestapo.
