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.

Because it's constantly used by Fox News?

It's an old word and people have different connotations. I personally associate it with union busters and railroad bulls.
