FYI ICE does a lot of good work too like fighting child sex trafficking in other countries. ICE does a lot more than just immigration enforcement within the US borders.
ICE ERO (Enforcement Removal Operations) = brownshirts, entirely immigration
Two separate agencies with two separate missions, and this is about HSI.
>According to ICE, HSI agents “encountered 97 individuals who are subject to removal from the United States” during its execution of a federal criminal search warrant at the meatpacking plant.

It’s a big issue, ERO can’t even perform their own workplace raids/political stunts so they co-opt the serious agency for it whenever the winds in DC blow the right direction.
Blown in part by the infamous “ICE union” of course, while hilariously, the HSI agents performing the stunts aren’t even unionized.
But because DHS is, has, and will probably continue to be in disarray merely confronted with its daily agenda, it’s always going to be a “bad time” to look at finally separating the two.

Folks keep mentioning these separate groups within ICE. Which makes a great deal of sense if you actually say the words that make up ICE: Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
ERO == Immigration (the issues surrounding folks coming into the country)
HSI == Customs (the issues surrounding stuff coming into the country
Broadly related but distinct areas of enforcement.
Edit: Fixed formatting.
implying immigration enforcement is a bad thing
I do think we need control of our borders though in order to enforce things like tariffs, restrict prohibited items, human trafficking etc...

I know this isnt a topic HN likes, but F that statement.

I won't go into what I know of the USG and child sex trafficking (a victim) -- but its ridiculous to think that ICE does anything but protect and enable child sex trafficking.
As a child in the 1970s sex cults enabled by the CIA were a thing. (I am living proof of this, see the interview and statements about 'the purple people' (only clue Ill leave you.))

Look at Haiti.
I could write a book, but wont, about how just insanely pedo-ruled the USG is.
Have you ever looked at a badge of a sheriff?
This is what Swartz died trying to reveal, not JSTOR.
Sure have! There are all kinds of different badges, some with very simple designs and others with lots of great detail. This is a very, very vague piece of innuendo that does nobody any good if you're hoping that we'll research it ourselves.
