I understand this argument but I disagree: being precise about who is doing this stuff matters, especially since we will eventually have to determine what to do in the future if reform becomes possible.
I somewhat agree with you about political messaging, but that’s not what I’m trying to do.

It's fine and good to note that CBP is extra bad, but from a political messaging point of view, ICE is the way people identify the larger group and being Technically Correct is often just bad political messaging. It's ICE to the public. They're all on the same Gestapo mission.
Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them.
There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

Already bracing myself. I think it will be really illuminating, Season Six can be a bleak season but the show is also doing a lot of interesting things (some well, some not so well).
As we were watching it last night, I did consider maybe writing something about the experience🤔
