there is no current word on their condition as the situation is evolving, but i am expecting both to be dead and hope to be wrong. either way, ICE nazis are committed to upholding fascism at the expense of human lives. we are more unsafe now than we’ve been before in this administration. ICE does not view any of us as exceptions. we will be slaughtered if Der Führer demands it.
this is contributing to the false narrative that ICE is legitimate. they aren’t. they should have never been established and must be abolished. not only that but their current iteration is acting on illegal orders by a fascist dictator president. even if what they’re saying is true it doesn’t justify their actions because they shouldn’t fucking be there in the first place.
It’s an entire agency that is 90% staffed with tactical units enforcing MISDEMEANOR civil infractions that the supreme court gave unlimited authority because their scope of work was narrow to the limit where normal people shouldn’t ever encounter them.
It’s wild how many people legitimately don’t know it didn’t exist 25 years ago…
Like, obviously we don’t need it, it’s practically brand new for a federal agency. The only reason it’s as big as it is, is we e been rotating between neoliberals and republicans for 30 years, while both groups moved right.
I mean, TECHNICALLY correct. Prior to 2003 ICE was called INS. They were around since 1933:
