ICE is a paramilitary force. Arguing that they are not a military is pedantic and serves to detract from the severity of the institution's atrocities.
Historically, this is not true.
No, ICE is mimicking a military to occupy cities that are not politically aligned with the president. They are a paramilitary force that aims to punish political dissidents. Their competency relative to established militaries is beside the point entirely. In fact, it just makes them more dangerous.
