I'm not American. Could someone please explain concisely what the controversy about ICE is?

  People are mad because immigration laws are being enforced at a time when the president has an "R" next to his/her name.

    How is it OK to imprison children? At the current scale?

      That's a hyperbolic misrepresentation of the issue and you know it.

        As was your prior post. I live in New Zealand. There is universal disgust here for the current ICE actions - regardless of political stripe. I notice that many Republicans have spoken out against the policy also. Are you seriously suggesting that they are anti-Republican too?

  Immigration laws were passed in America over the past few decades without proper accounting for either the moral implications or the practical enforcement of the laws themselves. Very recently the current administration put pressure on law enforcement to follow closer the letter of the law, and being unprepared to do so many government agencies (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), resulting in unethical action such as separating a large number of immigrant children and placing them in under-provisioned detention centers like prisoners. Both major political parties have used the situation to attack the others, the conflict itself being a large historical talking point in US politics on all levels, local, state, and federal.
