> they did actually pitch the social good use case of helping law enforcement find and arrest criminals involved in child prostitution rings. That's sort of the crux of it - ICE wasn't supposed to be bad guys. In fact, ICE could be heroes - they really could be, when they were breaking up trafficking and rescuing people out of criminal control. Instead, they are tasked with tearing children away from parents and making orphans by deporting parents away. I suspect there are people in ICE-HSI, who probably hate being lumped in together with the ICE-ERO. The point is that the tide of public opinion on ICE would be different if the primary visible effect of them would be pulling women out of shipping containers and sending them to hospitals. Justice might be blind, but justice without mercy has another name.
