Y'know, makes me wonder why Democrates didn't disband ICE and CBP when they had control over the Congress and the government. I mean, they knew those agencies would be used in precisely this way, yet did nothing anyhow.

Democrats built the blueprint for ICE's deportation program and architected the law that enabled it.

Clinton's IIRAIRA bill literally introduced expedited removal procedures and created the concept of 'administrative warrants', routinely used by CBP/ICE today.

Without the IIRAIRA, removal would be substantially harder.
