People might argue that ICE is not recruiting quality agents.

But I would insist that they are in fact successfully recruiting the exact sort of person needed to carry out the mission: reactionary, angry, violent people who don’t believe in democracy.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

ICE’s Murder of Renee Nicole Good Was Not an Aberration — It Is the New Normal

ICE was already a problem, but Trump created a not-so-secret police that is enforcing MAGA ideology at the barrel of a gun. That's not a political statement, here's the evidence to prove it.
