Trump Endorses Rebranding ICE as NICE

Donald Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are as universally despised as Adolph Hitler’s Gestapo police force. Hitler used the Gestapo as an instrument of terror to identify, suppress, and eliminate all perceived enemies of his fascist state, including Communists, trade unionists, gay men, and people of faith who put God above the state, Gypsies and of course Jews.

Trump uses ICE thugs as an instrument of terror to identify, suppress and eliminate all enemies of his White Christian Nationalist regime, including Democrats, late-night comics, the LGBT community, Muslims, people of color and all people of faith who do not recognize him as the incarnation of Jesus Christ.

Trump never resists a good rebranding opportunity; witness his rebranding of the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” and the Department of Defense as the “Department of War.” Therefore, it is not surprising that he endorsed a conservative influencer’s suggestion that ICE be renamed NICE (National Immigration and Customs Enforcement), so the media would be forced to use the phrase “NICE agents.”

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, and shit by any other name would stink as bad. ICE agents with their aggressive tactics, deceptive tactics, lack of transparency and penchant for killing peaceful demonstrators are the antithesis of nice.

Trump is too clever by half, by endorsing the silly suggestion that ICE agents be rebranded NICE agents, he is only reminding us that they are vicious jackbooted thugs.

Abolish ICE!

“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was formed pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, following the events of September 11, 2001.”
Wikipedia

ICE was created in the aftermath of the paranoia and xenophobia that infected our democracy in the aftermath of 9/11.

Nearly two decades after the terrorist attack that shook our nation to the core we must remain vigilant against the threat of radical Islamic terrorism, but at the same time we must overturn the Patriot Act, abolish ICE and restore the civil liberties that were stripped from us in the jingoistic spirit that permeated post 9/11 America.

“ICE operates detention centers throughout the United States that detain undocumented immigrants who are apprehended and placed into removal proceedings. About 34,000 people are held in immigration detention on any given day, in over 200 detention centers, jails, and prisons nationwide.”

Wikipedia

Until recently only undocumented families living in America were aware of the brutal tactics of ICE (La Migra), but under the Trump regime that criminalizes immigrants and treats them like dogs, mainstream America has come to know and loathe ICE.

A democracy shouldn`t tolerate detention centers where innocent children and adults who committed the misdemeanor of crossing the border are treated like criminals.

“Abolish ICE” shouldn`t just be the rallying cry of leftist activists, it should be the mantra of every red-blooded America who values democracy and freedom.
ICE agents have become the face of the Trump administration`s inhumane immigration policy, they resemble the Gestapo more than a law enforcement agency.

No more ICE raids that terrorize minority communities! No more ICE detention centers! No more deporting people who have lived in the US for years back to countries engulfed in violence and crime. Abolish ICE! For God`s sake Abolish ICE!
