A good example of the immigration propaganda and lies being perpetuated by the Trump Administration for (potential) political gain......
ICE was established after 9 / 11. There are some ICE agents who exploit immigrants, sexually assault them, threaten them with deportation if they report the abuses, etc... Real assholes who shouldn't be on the job. There are real assholes like that in almost any large agency and law enforcement is certainly not exempt.
However, much of what's being protested is simply ICE following the immigration orders of the Trump Administration.
Anyway, some Americans are demanding that ICE be abolished because they claim it has morphed into nothing more than a corrupt deportation task force (I don't personally know how much validity that claim holds).
Recently, a few Democrat elected leaders have publicly stated that they agree ICE either needs to be abolished or re-examined and fixed. The latter is reasonable, in my opinion, and something Senator Kamala Harris supports.
