General Discussion

ICE is poorly screened, trained, and knowledgeable. They seem to be winging it under an overly tough guy facade which escalates quickly due to ego , attitude, and no ability to evaluate or sympathize with their targets (victims). Many times they become instantly hostile with autistic, disabled, fearful people, including children. They have had no sensitivity training and as the result have caused extreme trauma even if the victim is eventually found to be unlawfully detained and released. Tragically, deaths have resulted.
We are hearing that a detention center in Texas is filled with children and many of the girls there are now pregnant so it appears that either ICE is raping those girls or allowing them to be raped by someone else who gains access to them. I think it is reasonable to conclude that boys and young men are being sexually assaulted as well, and all are being detained in inadequate conditions under the threat of terror. Their medical needs are ignored.
These guys may be attracted to become ICE agents because they already have rap sheets and few prospects, but they are also disordered and being put in positions of power is dangerous. There are some who are likely signing up for financial reasons, but then find themselves in a peer group they must get along with. Toxic.
We must not run any agency this way. We must abolish ICE. Many of these guys belong in prisons themselves. We can start over and properly.
