In Minneapolis, a woman sat in her car and ended up dead after an encounter with an ICE officer. In a different set of cases, U.S. citizens were hauled into detention anyway, kicked, dragged, held for hours or days, and told, in effect, to prove they belonged here. These are not freak incidents. They are the predictable outputs of an agency built for interior enforcement, where speed beats certainty and accountability can hinge on whether federal officials choose to open the file. That is why the argument to Abolish ICE is no longer theoretical. It is about what happens when “protection” becomes a system that can seize the wrong person, escalate the moment, and then ask the public to trust a process it cannot audit.
