This might surprise you, but some of us care about other human beings whether or not they're citizens of the United States. My issues with ICE have nothing to do with census numbers and everything to do with them separating children from their families and literally losing them, then destroying the records of them doing so. Canada is just now digging up the bodies of indigenous children who died at re-education camps, and it'll be decades before we get an actual death toll of ICE's actions.



I'm not speaking for you personally but instead the body politic as it were. I'm putting forward my theory as to why you see plenty of negative stories in the press about ICE but not the CIA. The media manufactures consent to steal a phrase in one case but not the other.
