Preface
ICE (Immigration & Customs Enforcement) is a border security force in the United States which has extreme human rights violations and concentration/internment camps for undocumented detainees and is generally despised by all immigrant communities due to their substantial racial profiling. Protests continuously happen throughout the country to oppose regular ICE raids.
