The border detention and interrogation of left-wing streamer Hasan Piker is just the latest incident that suggests Donald Trump is using the immigration system to harass his critics.
If we ever get another president after Trump they need to abolish ICE. It’s pretty clear at this point that the organizations vague ability to skirt the Constitution is a loaded gun for authoritarians to use to go after their enemies.
I don’t think changes anything. Hasan was detained by CBP, not ICE.
And you can’t exactly just abolish CBP. Most Americans still would want “secure borders”
And modern society to too entangled with the concept of the state and law enforcement that I don’t see any way of any law enforcement organization to just be abolished. There no political will to do so.
Most Americans lean liberal, not leftist.
Maybe so reforms and a “you can’t detain/arrest non-violent undocumented immigrants” rule but that’s the most I realistically see happening.
You abolish ICE, they are just gonna use CBP, FBI, National Guard, or whatever. I mean, if they are gonna violate laws, they will do so reguardless of what name/banner the Gestapo is labeled under.

Seems to me the evidence is in that it’s neither the one nor the other for the majority.
