No, it isn't. If you took any time to talk to any of the tremendous number of reasonable, empathic people working at ICE, you could not say that with a straight face.
The mandate of ICE is to enforce immigration and customs laws, not to "be cruel to foreigners" or some such. Making a dehumanizing moral caricature of people you disagree with is not helpful to anyone who needs help.
ICE impersonates the LAPD, making their jobs more difficult. The LAPD has requested they stop doing this.
Homeland wants to be separated from ICE because ICE is hurting the broader org’s reputation and making it harder to keep the country safe.
ICE is so far off the rails, it is indefensible.
Please link me to the tremendous number of reasonable, empathic people working at ICE who are speaking out against the injustices committed by their organization. I'll wait.
Which results in ridiculous bullshit like this:

Can you tell me how the above situation is not cruel?
USCIS is not ICE. When USCIS refers people to ICE (the topic of this article), ICE has their own procedures which have more to do with carrying out immigration and customs law than "cruelty".
