ICE has and is arresting US Citizens

ICE is immune to prosecution for improper behavior so they've dialed that up to 11 this year

Who exactly is going to stop them? Courts just say "don't do that" and they nod

Read the article. It's the FBI in this, not ICE.

Fascism tends to pervert every institution it touches. What the FBI was before 2025 is no longer valid.

FBI is after the fact follow up.

Someone else may be responsible for his disappearance in the first place.
