Folx, it makes sense to show the insanity of how few and short hurdles one has to go through to become an ICE agent, I understand why we're pointing out that Renée Good was a U.S. citizen, or innocent, or not protesting anything, but this is just a gentle reminder that these things don't matter.

These facts may be an entry point to showcase a broader argument, but must never be the criticism itself. If ICE had year long training, they'd still be cops, and would do just as much oppression, with maybe less visible or noticed violence.

The truth of the matter is that, as much as Trump is the death of the euphemism, ICE is the revelation of the violence that was always underlying the American empire.

They aren't un-American and what is happening isn't new. People who believe that are just taken outside of a comfort zone they believed to have been a right, when in reality it was a privilege.

Renée Good was only a first when counting those who look like us.

ICE needs to be abolished.
