It shouldn't be that surprising given the family separation fiasco.
ICE != CPB
I'd expect people so fired up about this issue to at least understand the basic facts.
Both of them are under "Homeland Security", and their 'mission' often overlaps, sooo perhaps it's more accurate to say 'homeland security.'
People with emphathy or ethics can get jumpy about ripping children away from their families. I wish I could still find it bizarre that some people don't.
Maybe because those people know that the alternative is to turn a blind eye to child trafficking. You can't both allow children to stay with whoever brings them and protect them from trafficking.
I mean CBP deserves way more shit than it's getting, but I don't really think hating ICE is that weird.
When you believe the bill of rights applies to everyone in the world which is becoming a common view, ICE seems like the perfect hill to die on.
I dunno, it kind of makes sense. Besides the IRS they probably have the most negative brand association in all of the US government. Their activities, especially recently, make them pretty easy to characterize as the bad guys. It’s not that crazy.
ICE is as good an example of the police state as anything else.
