People are railing against the practices here but the problem isn't that ICE is using these tactics so much as they're actually legal. Law enforcement has been able to lie to people in the US. They don't have to tell you the truth. They don't need to understand the law. And all of that is legal. The legality of police actively deceiving people is what's wrong.

And they wonder why no one trusts them anymore.

Also they aren’t obliged to help you if you’re in trouble either, Definitely shouldn’t leave that part out

“There's no accountability,” one expert tells WIRED of ICE’s ability to lie to the public. "The consequence of this is that it’s going to be a systemic harm across all law enforcement.” Read the full article: [https://www.wired.com/story/why-ice-is-allowed-to-impersonate-law-enforcement/](https://www.wired.com/story/why-ice-is-allowed-to-impersonate-law-enforcement/)

"There's no accountability, even if you remove ice.", I tell WIRED of law enforcement's ability to lie to the public.

Because the entirety of the government has been corrupted, captured, and controlled by special interests and the ultra wealthy. Common Americans only matter if they fit into a demographic that a politician needs to optimize chances of victory. The plot twist is that they don’t actually matter, just their votes, so politicians don’t even have to do their job, just make appeals with slogans to the commoners and watch those votes roll in. Pretty f****** insane. Americans really spent generations ignoring logic and attacking their education system. And now the media wants to ask such stupid questions as this.

"[U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)](https://www.ice.gov/about-ice) is a federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). ICE agents investigate immigration and customs violations, enforce over 400 federal statutes, and operate in the U.S. interior to manage border security, public safety, and homeland security"
