The ICE agents consider people guilty until proven innocent. They hand cuffed a 15 year old disabled boy and pointed guns at him until they discovered it was a case of mistaken identity. The Obama administration deported a lot of people and they did it without violence and intimidation. The agents brag when they arrest someone because of the fat bonus they'll receive. Four years from now there will be tribunals and ICE agents will have to answer for their crimes.
