    I never thought of it but, except for Native Americans, we’re all immigrants, aren’t we? So probably we should all be afraid of ICE.

      Immigrants are just the first wave of scapegoats.

      I refer you to Martin Niemöller’s famous confession:

      First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
      Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
      Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
      Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

      ICE is the modern American SS. They just need an excuse to arrest people arbitrarily - until they don’t need an excuse no more.
