ICE isnt any more or less militarized than INS was, if anything its a less powerful agency, its just in a more logical place (DHS instead of DOL), while I hate the name for DHS, it was a fundamentally good reorganization of government.

You're joking right? We had highly armed INS agents in bulletproof vests and tactical gear roaming our streets?
Yes, I remember the INS raids of the early 90's they had tac gear, and AR's and I presume bullet proof vests too.
