Rhetorical question, or are you genuinely asking?

I wonder why they chose to work for ICE...

ICE is often the employer of last resort for wannabe cops who can't get jobs at other agencies due to low IQ, poor physical fitness, criminal history, misconduct, etc.

Many of them didn't, the right to act as ICE was extended beyond the service itself through executive order.

Position of authority and power.

Genuinely. Are they all Trump fans that say "finally we can do what we always wanted to do" or what?

I mean there's the law or some executive order but there's also leeway in implementing. I am not qualified to judge but it just seems to be some sort of preemptive obedience.

Obama deported more people than any president in history.

I get the impression that a lot of school bullies get into law enforcement. they don't have the skills/credentials to do anything else and they have the streak of cruelty that you need to fit in.

I knew a guy in my early 20's, not white, who wanted to be a cop. Once he told me "If I have a bad day, everyone gonna have a bad day." I dont talk to him anymore because he became a cop and turned into a fucking asshole.

"The bishop's smile, a gilded, hollow thing, hides taxman's greed, and whispers of the king; the knight's sworn oath, a rusted, broken chain, while village elders plot for whispered, selfish gain; no judge's word, nor lord's decree rings true, in thirteen twelve, what's left for us to do?"

1312!

Where is this quoted from?

Yes. It's trivial to tell if you're not a citizen and go through customs.
