Trump to deploy ICE agents to airports Monday

24. This is AMAZING

I think this is the best thing they could possibly do.

1: Diverting resources away from the pointless hunting of brown folks. We paid for ICE, lets actually use them for something thats less targetedly cruel. Every ICE agent posted at an airport is one less Ice agent stalking some poor mom trying to get her kid to school or shooting a protester in the head. Or raping someone in a concentration camp.

2) In my experience its largely not the poorest of folks who are flying. The lower mid and mid mid fill most of the seats, best i can tell. The ones who often have an attitude that maybe ICE has gone a bit too far, but they are needed because criminals and stuff, and then dont really think further on the issue. People who are not used to the type of treatment that ice specializes in. Those encounters should be pretty revealing for everyone involved, one way or another. Either we learn that ICE is capable of treating people like humans and chooses not to, or a whole new class of folks get the ICE treatment shoved in their faces in a way thats hard to ignore. Or both.
