In reply to the discussion: Cruz proposes splitting ICE from Homeland Security funding bill to end airport chaos [View all]BumRushDaShow
(169,212 posts)22. The anectdotal word here when the news stations ask people
is that they blame "Congress"... but a number of them recognize what Democrats are trying to do. This may be an artifact of living in the deep blue city where the country was founded (Philly), but I think most are aware and/or have actually experienced (even here) the brutal tactics of ICE - even if down on the level of having their favorite restaurants or vendors close down due to ICE raids.
What they probably don't understand is how the different federal departments are constituted and what all those different agencies do and their unfortunate lumping under DHS - particularly not understanding what ICE and CBP has to do with TSA - but this mess is ALL thanks to Shrub!

OP
That's the logical thing to do. Or ICE could agree to remove masks, show ID and obey court orders.
