I read that it makes ICE bigger than the fucking Chinese army. It's beyond obscene. One thing that I wonder about is... are there even enough racist sociopaths in this country to fill the ranks? You need a specific type of person to be willing to join ICE. It's possible that there simply aren't enough Americans who are willing to brutalize immigrants to use the $200 billion they were given.
You give them (yourself?) too much credit. US has been brutalizing people abroad for no fucking reason for decades. How many people do you think protested against killing brown people? Did the involved (apart for a very few cases) face any consequences? No? They live for that shit.
What do you think "Thank you for your service" means when they're literally murdering civilians abroad.
Trump of a symptom of generations of racism. People didn't come out and vote for a felon, rapist and a bankrupt moron, who probably couldn't add 2+2, just for the kicks. They organized it, so they could embolden themselves and live their fantasies about oppressing people they hate.
