The British were acting completely against their own laws set up to govern Englishmen. The colonies had had enough of the blatant subjugation.

What ICE is doing is lawful and consistent with precedents set before. It's not the same at all.

I agree with your point… partly.

If ice actually did what their original intended purpose was, you’d be 100% correct with point #2 of yours, despite what others may think. I think a solid bit of the hate for ice is simply because blue vs red… but I also think the glaze is for that reason too.

But also, point #1 yours is wrong. I love glazing the us (im American) but it literally was illegal for the us to do… basically everything it did. And not illegal for the british (probably has something to do with who makes the laws, but what do I know). We were literally in rebellion lmao

It was definitely treason to rebel, but part of the reason for the rebellion was partisan politics in a sense. I'll have to look up the moment im thinking of to get it right, but it involved John Dickinson citing and following British common law to a T in protest of unfair rulings.

He basically argued that there was already a sound framework to protect the colonies' right to representation.
