    You’d need some kind of org that does what ICE is allegedly supposed to be doing, but at this point, you probably have to burn it to the ground and start over to achieve that.

    For starters, it would have to be something that is absolutely beholden to local interests, whether they are the city, state, county, etc…not some unchained federal agency that can go buck-wild on areas that did not vote in sufficient enough numbers for whoever is currently in office.

      There is also no freaking reason to have closed militarized borders in the western hemisphere. Just let people move around.

      Yeah, their budget is now 90% secret police activities, and only 10% the kinds of things that are actually important… like interfacing with INTERPOL, and acting as a barrier to arms dealing and human trafficking.

      Since we can’t abolish something 90%, we need to assign those duties to another organization, until ICE is left with nothing except evil/redundant duties, and THEN abolish it.
