A while back I wrote about the various ‘Gestapo’ type organizations under Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Pal Pot. History repeats itself over and over and over. The ‘ICE’ Gestapo types get all excited and involved in carrying out the visions of their dictator. They become lost in the flurry of adrenaline and ridding their country of ‘problematic people’ be they Jews, Professors or Latina/Latino. But then, as you write, the evil dissipates after it has had its fill and what remains is the detritus of the violent puppets of the dictator. These ICE agents will wake up one day… and their wives and children may already be waking up… but the sorrow and horror will live on and on and on. Evil works that way… it is a cancer that keeps on giving. Nice article here Mark, as usual.

Thanks, Tom. There's a reason they wear those face masks. Imagine having video of you being a Nazi bully herding little kids into a van to be trafficked showing up on the local news and people all across town watching and saying, "Hey, what the hell is Bill doing? That's disgusting. I didn't realize he is such an asshole."

As kitted up as they are in all their bully-boy combat gear, they are despicable little cowards. The perfect embodiment for what the US government -- under both parties -- has become.
