Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

Read a random definition: salic marriage

A quick definition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE):

ICE is a government agency that helps protect the United States from crimes and illegal activities that involve people and goods coming into the country from other places. It has four different parts that work together to investigate and stop these activities. ICE's main job is to make sure that people and things coming into the United States are safe and legal. If someone breaks the rules, ICE can investigate and take action to stop them. This might include sending them back to their home country if they came to the United States illegally.

A more thorough explanation:

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a government agency that was created in 2003 to protect the United States from cross-border crimes and prevent the illegal movement of goods and people from getting into the country. ICE is the largest investigative agency under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and has four operational directorates:

  • Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)
  • Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO)
  • Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA)
  • Management and Administration (M&A)

The main mission of ICE is to ensure public safety and national security by enforcing immigration laws and preventing the entry of illegal goods and people into the country. For example, ICE may investigate a person who submitted a fraudulent visa application or brought counterfeit merchandise into the U.S. During the removal process, ICE manages the detention and deportation of the person who violated the immigration laws.

Overall, ICE plays a critical role in protecting the United States from threats to its security and integrity.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
