In 2002, Republican and Democrat politicians in the United States Congress voted in favor of creating the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. We have the ICE thanks to both the Republican Party and Democrat Party. Republicans and Democrats created the deportation machine. Republicans and Democrats are responsible for the atrocities committed by ICE agents. Democrats and Republicans are responsible for the migrant deaths related to ICE.
