Abolishing I.C.E. by Logan W.



Ice stands for U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement and as the name implies enforces immigration laws on immigrants coming into our nation. ICE is best known for the detaining and deportation of illegal immigrants. It was created after the terror attacks of 9/11 and are a branch of homeland security. This government agency has been around since 2003, but until recently nobody has had issues with them.

 Disagreements arose when President Trump enforced the zero tolerance immigration policy (allowed to separate families if need be), which was severely disapproved by many democrats and liberals. The most famous is the 2,300 children separated from their families after they attempted to enter the country illegally Soon the term Abolish Ice turned into an actual protest movement. The group’s main moral is that the agency’s deportation of illegal immigrants with no criminal records is inhumane, and that the agency should focus more on drug smuggling and human right abuses. As usual the democrats and republicans have different opinions on getting rid of ICE all together. Democrats have not yet had a expansive conversation about which illegal immigrants should or shouldn't be removed by ICE, putting Republicans at a advantage.


  1. Do you agree that we should abolish Ice?
  2. Should we reinvent ICE or keep it the same?
  3. Do you believe illegal immigration is a serious issue in today's politics?

    I.C.E is a crucial government agency in terms of our nation's immigration laws. The termination of I.C.E would only further escalate America's massive illegal immigration issue. Without I.C.E there would be no dedicated agency to enforcing immigration laws, which in turn would let illegal immigration flow unrestricted.
