      Because despite its name, ICE is no longer about immigration and customs. The Trump administration (and the people behind Project 2025) have appropriated and expanded it into their own private army, circumventing constitutional law for the purpose of turning the USA into a dictatorship.

      This is why you might see people comparing ICE to a modern day Gestapo, and part of why many Americans fear that there will be no more elections.

      Why is someone that committed treason and insurrection allowed to be president when it is clearly stated in our constitution it is illegal to do so?

        The Constitution is not self-enforcing. With a lawless Supreme Court, a captive congress and an oligarch-controlled media, there are no effective limits on executive dictatorship.
