    Here’s the thing. Let’s try to take ICE at face value just for a second.

    Hypothetical situation. “Tom” (hypothetical person) is an actual criminal. He killed 3 people. ICE then comes and attempts to take him away. The community supports Tom. ICE walks away without Tom.

    Don’t you think ICE would be INSISTANT that they haul in the criminal? They wouldn’t even care what some townsfolks have to say. Criminals get brought in.

    Unless of coarse, the townsfolks KNOW it’s all bullshit, and ICE knows it’s all bullshit. And they view it as not worth the hassle over something illegitimate anyways.

    So, there’s only two outcomes.

    Option A) ICE just attempted to capture a man, and make him disappear for no reason. Community backlash prevented this.

    Option B) ICE just let a criminal stay free, and gave up on their job.

    I’ll let you guys figure out which it is.

    …it’s option A.

            I entered it into the field thinking it’d already been taken (it’s a single letter after all) and might get some ideas from the suggestions that usually pop up when the handle you want is taken. I was shocked when it was available, shrugged and took it. The handle does not reference anything, like Twitter, for example.

      Uh… what does ICE have to do with catching actual criminals? Isn’t that supposed to be the cops’ job?

        They simply have a quota to make trump happy, and maybe get a bonus of stolen assets. They aren’t interested in working harder for it than necessary.
