I appreciate these insights that ICE works like police always have -- they were founded to deport escaped slaves!
ICE is horrific...and also an extension of how policing has always worked, not a radical break from it.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.
