ICE: What You Need To Know About America’s Secret Police. Steve Williamson, Karen McClelland and Gary LaMaster discuss the history, structure, recent actions and excesses of ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement).
This year, the agency has sent heavily armed masked agents into communities across the U.S. to round up migrants who are “the worst of the worst.” Instead, it has arrested, abused, and detained your neighbors, co-workers, military veterans, American citizens, even elected officials. As a result, there are currently more than 68,400 people being held in often deplorable conditions.
It could be argued that all of this has ties to last week’s show on oligarchy. Because a strongman/tyrant needs a loyal and compliant police force to make the nation safe for themselves and the oligarchs.
