Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

what are you talking about "this country", this is lemmy.ca
ICE is an American institution, so the pronouns are used appropriately.
Otherwise, they'd have to replace the pronoun "their" with "Immigration and Customs Enforcement", or ICE again in the same sentence, and so on.
Pronouns are used as a substitute for the subject so that you don't have to use the same exact term repeatedly in conversation.
The pronouns following the subject all pertain to the subject until the subject is changed.
This is ENGLISH!
should be "that country," no?
People make mistakes with pronouns constantly, as pronouns are not "exact" and are themselves placeholders, an approximation for the subject to avoid nearly constant repetition.
Once you start correcting the pronouns of others, you make conversations about anything else virtually impossible. It's the destroyer of many threads, done purposefully or not.
As they say in linguistics, just go with it; only then will you get to THE SUBJECT itself
