"Gestapo" = Geheime Staatspolizei = secret state police. I fear the shoe fits there.

"vigilantes" indicates that they are outside legal authority, which is accurate, but I don't like that term for these ICEholes because they obey Hair Furor. More like his private goon squad. And also, I dislike the implication that they are supposedly enforcing the law, which in truth has nothing to do with their operations.

I also agree with you on their people-warehousing facilities. They are concentrations camps not prisons. Their fondly nicknamed Florida facility is more correctly called "Alligator Auschwitz", as the inmates at "Alcatraz" at least arrived there as a result of judicial proceedings, rather than extra-judicial abductions.
