Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

The ECOA passed in 1974.
My mom divorced my dad in 1975.
These things are not unrelated. She was finally able to establish her own credit, buy a house, start her own business… all thanks to the ECOA.
1975 was the best year of my childhood too, when my abusive dad finally went away.
