The United States needs a department like ICE, every country does, but the current iteration is forever poisoned. People keep calling them Gestapo, but I think Brown Shirts is more on the nose.
I'd like to point out how wrong I was about all this. For years I had commented saying that modern Brown Shorts would rise organically from local MAGA groups, then come together under a federal banner of some sort. I never foresaw the Trump admin short cutting that clumsy method and directly utilizing an existing federal department.
Yes, ICE, the 22 year old agency is definitely something the US can't do without. Certainly didn't manage fine without it for the vast majority of our history as a country. Fucking hell.
