ngl there is racist connotations in the way people label ICE as "masked thugs" or "gang members". by doing this you're disassociating ICE from state institutions & associating them with racialized terms of criminality in order to reinforce the idea that they're dangerous. In reality they're just cops & this is just cop shit.

Well, you see, if you're a violent black you're a "thug" or "gang member", if you're a violent white you're a "cop", and if you disagree with this analysis you're apparently racist.
