ICE is pretty bad at following US law and pretty good at being cruel to everyone in their path
- ICE routinely detains and deports citizens and legal residents (guess their skin color) [1]
- ICE routinely abuses those placed in their care and doesn't punish known abusers [2] [3] [4] [7]
- ICE is happy to hurt its law enforcement practices to round up more immigrants [5]
- under Obama ICE was actively ignoring court orders [6] this is much worse under Trump
- ICE asylum officers (i.e. lawyers and experts) have reported extensive cruel and illegal practices [8]
