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.

The level of liberalism and cop apologism is too damn high... Using terms like "thug" and "gangster" simply reinforces cop/prison culture. Like the meme says, these people are cops... And yeah it's racist too. There's really no need to attempt to "rehabilitate" racist terms when more accurate terms (eg. cop) are readily available...
