      To cherry pick everything out of the article and ‘ACAB’ that is pretty silly. That’s a very reasonable comment because literally zero border protections would be a disaster. I mean sure disband ICE, but you’ll need someone at the airports and checking containers etc.

        ICE is not the same thing as CBP (customs and border protection). Getting rid of ICE would not leave your border ‘unprotected’. This kind of ignorant shit is exactly why you Americans are in this fucking situation.

          I’m not fucking American, my apologies for not knowing the intricacies of American law enforcement/federal agencies. Just remember, assuming makes an ass out of you and me. But really, it’s like you 99%.

        This is how the Conservative Propaganda Machine finds.people with poor Critical Thinking Skills and separates them from the herd, and starts working on them. I’m this case, they are prepared to accept whatever ICE does to us, because they’ve been told it will be far worse if ICE goes away.

        Was there NOTHING at the border before ICE? Was nobody being stopped at the border before?

        Of course not, Border Patrol has been a thing forever, long before ICE was around. If ICE goes away, then we simply rely on the Border patrol, like we’ve always done.

        You could argue that they could do a better job, but sending armed invaders to attack our cities is not the better job they should be doing.

      After what ICE has been doing, is it such a big betrayal of your fellow law enforcement to say that ICE needs to be abolished, and a NEW agency, with a new leadership who is committed to establishing a new culture must replace it?
