Personally I would like to say yes!
Both of these issues, Human Trafficking and Drug Trafficking, have a history of being used to support attacks on racial minorities. In addition, once ICE has this level of power it is only a matter of time before it is turned to other issues like: Identifying foreign protestors and political dissidents, tracking down suspected communists, and identifying journalist sources. This is already happening through DHS inter-agency collaboration.
What little benefit that comes from reducing drug imports and human trafficking (Consensual and non-consensual) is offset by the damage caused by allowing a government agency to abuse and detain unpopular minority groups while invading the privacy of citizens and non-citizens alike.
