The mobs of I.C.E. agents remind me also of the Black and Tans. The British government signed up over 10,000 out-of-work WWI veterans to do what neither the army nor the regular constabulary would do to crush the Irish rebellion. Their name, Black and Tans, came from the ad hoc uniforms they were given. They were meant to supplement the police, the Royal Irish Constabulary, but they were not trained as police and not subject to military discipline. They made their hatred and cruelty their guides.

So I.C.E. has over 20,000 agents. They too are meant to do what neither the real police nor the army would be willing to do. Their behavior shows all the signs of lack of training and lack of discipline, and they are guilty of countless infractions of the law and an increasing number of malicious attacks. They seem to have no uniform, but they cover their faces like the Ku Klux Klan, and for the same reason. And like the KKK they are recruited from among white supremacists who fear and therefore hate people of color. I’m sure, also, that if you want to sign on with I.C.E. and get the big sign-on bonus, it helps a lot if you are a “Christian.”
