ICE, on the other hand, was set up for "identifying and eliminating border, economic, transportation, and infrastructure security vulnerabilities". They also have "special response teams" for some cases where they need to arrest hardened criminals who have committed serious crimes such as murder, robbery, and rape. Instead, these SRTs are now working on routine enforcement. They are arresting people at schools and hospitals. This is the equivalent of sending in the FBI into your work place and dragging you out by force in handcuffs because you got a traffic ticket.

This is a waste of time, money, and effort. We are dedicating a team of officers - up to a dozen - to track and arrest a single person.
