ICE horror is a perfect analogy for US policing being *systemic racism*, not interpersonal racism. It also illustrates what some cops mean when they say that *You civilians are way more racist than us cops!*.

The cops don't have the vocab to express the point. But they are right.

Let me explain.
Immigrants pursuing lawful pathways to live here are being snatched from ICE offices and courtrooms immediately after routine check-ins and court hearings.

Arresting and deporting people legally seeking asylum is illegal, unconstitutional, and un-American.

Randomized trial AI for legal work finds Reasoning models are a big deal:

Law students using o1-preview had the quality of work on most tasks increase (up to 28%) & time savings of 12-28%

There were a few hallucinations, but a RAG-based AI with access to legal material reduced those to human level
