What’s one way we can rein in ICE?
We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty.
This information could be presented as a bulleted list that takes <10s to read. I don’t need or want a video of it.
Congratulations!

“You can search you at usaspending.gov to find out more information and to see if any locally-owned businesses where you live are working with ICE.”
UPDATE: I am adding other companies found through other sources -
- Enterprise Rent-A-Car
ICE isn’t police, but I guess this fits here.
What are you talking about?
Their vests say “POLICE” right on 'em.
Did you mean they’re not local police, maybe?
If it looks like a pig, acts like a pig, and smells like a pig, it’s probably a pig!
ICE is to police what the SS was to the Wehrmacht: sure they wear uniforms and they kill people with firearms, but they’re a lawless bunch of thugs with no rules and total impunity.
ICE is Trump’s paramilitary. They’re not regular police. They just share many of the police’s nasty traits.

My cap says Redskins and I’ve never touched a football in my life.
“lawless bunch of thugs with no rules and total impunity” is the definition of “police”.
Every point you’ve tried to make can be made without asking people to pretend that the “regular” police haven’t committed the same atrocities time and time again.
Pretending that ICE is uniquely different from other kinds of police damages the movement for police abolition.
Every point you’ve tried to make can be made without asking people to pretend that the “regular” police haven’t committed the same atrocities time and time again.
The regular police has rules and pretends to abide by them. Agreed they don’t pretend very much but they do pretend. And every once in a while, a bad cop gets convicted.
None of those things apply to ICE: they officially have zero rules, they openly practice racial profiling, they brutalize people with zero consequences (and I mean ZERO, not very low chances of consequences), they’re masked like the cowards they are, and they very officially have complete impunity.
That’s the difference with the police. We are still free to hate both the police and ICE intensely, but ICE is a different beast to hate.
Meh.
Distinctions without differences IMO.
They’re the next evolution of police. Yes, they’re worse, but it’s the fruit of the same ideology taken further.
absolutely. thanks for posting :)
