> I have to admit that I am not sure what ICE is doing wrong

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]
