I have never seen ICE in my city. Supposedly they have two small transfer facilities in my state. We have a small but relatively new immigrant culture. The state is deep DEEP red, ICE should be crawling out of the woodwork … but they aren’t.
It may have something to do with the state’s constitutional firearm carry laws. Just about anyone can be armed anywhere. ICE may be a bit skittish around a legally armed populace.
They seem to have a very selective presence. With purpose. Limited visible scope in a few states, other states see no presence, and thusly conclude it can’t possibly be as big a deal as this precedent-setting behavior is.
It’s next-level evil. Normalize the behavior, scare those you want, make those you want on your side to assume it isn’t nearly as bad as it is.
