“Trump's 2017 directive had made basically any undocumented immigrant a target for arrest, but a new proposal would focus on those suspected of...”
It seems to me that ICE compromised itself, acting far too often as President Trump's enforcers. I have no way of knowing how deep into the hierarchy this abuse penetrated, but unless some means of re-validation is found, I say "Abolish ICE"
