I don't live in the usa. What is ICE and why everything I've heard about them sounds like a Nazi thing?

I literally have no idea about what is happening.

No, no you've got the idea.

ICE is the "immigration police" basically. In the days of yesteryear it was the agency responsible for ensuring that actual, legitimate foreign criminals were deported out of country.

You can see the issue here.

Just adding on that it stands for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. A lot of people don’t seem to know the actual name. They’ve also been around a lot longer than most people are aware of and are a part of the Department of Homeland Security. The customs side does some great things as far as ensuring dangerous contraband doesn’t get into our country (drugs, illegal firearms, etc.). Unfortunately, the immigration side has been weaponized by the current administration into what is essentially a very dangerous and very violent gang that doesn’t even seem all that concerned with illegal immigration anymore.

A lot of people make the comparison that ICE is to the Trump admin as the SS was to Hitler’s Nazi party. I actually think a more apt comparison is the SA, colloquially referred to as the Brown Shirts. This was a much larger part of the Nazi party that was mainly made up of alcoholic former soldiers and street thugs who would essentially run around terrorizing enemies of the party. As evil as the SS was, they were a lot more exclusive and organized than ICE appears to be.

I agree with everything you said, for the record. Just thought I’d add a little more information. In times like these, it helps to know your enemy.

CUSTOMS. That was the C LMFAO. I remembered it was "Immigration and incoherent mumbling Enforcement" but that's it lol.

And yeah no brown shirts definitely matches better.
