ICE is under DHS. DHS is also doing a bunch of wildly unpopular political "investigations". There are also a lot of concerns about surveillance in general, which DHS is definitely doing (like buying adtech data on everyone) It is not at all controversial to call for scrapping the whole department. Maybe the messaging needs refinement.

    Its worse than that, look into the owners of Bellevue Square in Bellevue, WA. They basically forced light rail development to not land in the actual main downtown area and the family has a history of racism.

    Its kind of fucking nuts how so many things lead back to racism when you look at US history
