In Fairness, “Reconstitute ICE So That Internal Border Enforcement Can Be Done in a Professional Manner by an Agency That Has the Public’s Trust” Is a Bad Slogan
The “Abolish ICE” slogan was always maddeningly vague. At the height of “Abolish ICE,” I had a 30-minute conversation with a coworker who favored abolishing ICE, and his position seemed to be: The notion that progressives support open borders is a slanderous Republican talking point, but deporting people is always cruel, and ICE are bad at their job, but nobody should have their job, so ICE should be dutifly reformed and then abolished and replaced by nothing but suggesting that ending enforcement is tantamount to open borders is slander most foul.
