Most of the cases of ICE brutality escalate through protests against them. The protestors know that raising violence will be used as an excuse to America’s fear/racism-driven base to triple their funding. They bravely accept they’ll do more in getting attacked, in demonstrating ICE’s cruelty, than attacking individuals.

We’re in a bizarre period of history where there’s so many eyes on the internet, optics matter more than ever. There’s still some extremely captive audiences that can be made to think everything the regime does is “legitimate”.
