Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If ICE cares the tiniest bit about "people like me" they wouldn't have committed so many crimes in the open with zero consequences. My point which everybody seems to ignore is that: ICE doesn't care what I or you think and therefore they don't need to fabricate factious story
And yet they literally continue to do so both in court and in public.
Because they DO care, regardless of what you say. Their entire shtick is reliant on people NOT caring. Not that I’m agreeing or disagreeing with you or the other commenter on this specific case but thinking theyre immune to public response is wrong.
I think you have a misunderstanding of what "crime" means.
An accusation of a crime does not make that crime a reality. Interestingly CBP defines "child" as an unmarried person under twenty-one years of age ^1^
The concentration camps, child abduction+trafficking, forced sterilizations and murders perpetuated by the DHS (not just ICE but the CBP "good guys" as well) have all been repeatedly, and emphatically adjucated as being legal. Thus making them not crimes either.
There are zero consequences because they aren't crimes.
The reputation laundering is important in making sure there isn't a build up of pressure which could result in their goals, mission and methods becoming crimes.
^1 Terrible example and incredibly unrealistic, but I'm using it demonstrate weird legal contradictions and how the law™ can be twisted when used outside of formal contexts^
