i'm the kind of person that ice is actively hunting down (and was caught back in the 1980's by ice's predecessor) and refusing to vote for a pro-empire candidate; trump or not; is the only way to reverse ice's existence.

ice has been an incoming thing since 2001. the republicans have accelerated it, the democrats are actively refusing to abolish or reverse it, so supporting either democrats or republicans will not reverse it.

actually, from a historical perspective, it's been the Dems who have accelerated ICE. Biden and especially Obama were much more instrumental in the agency coming into more and more power. Trump's getting to play with the toy now, but it was bought by Dems.
