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.

If we don't reclaim words from use in hate speech, we'll run out of words and communicate like cavemen using grunts and pointing. We're currently in the process of losing the word "ice" to hatred ffs
