I don't see what it being formed in 2003 has to do with anything.

What exactly is being advocated in abolishing ICE when you bring up that another agency was doing its duties? Are you saying that other agency can take over those duties again?

Most of the abolish ICE crowd just wants to get rid of ICE and ICE's duties. I don't think they want the CBP doing roughly the same thing ICE is doing. They'll just demand we abolish CBP.

ICE is extremely militaristic in its approach. Think if it like replacing all police officers with SWAT team members.

ICE has a history of horrible treatment of detainees, it abuses its authority and I find it strange that small government conservatives love it the most.
