    It’s because the people who run ICE won’t ask silly questions like “Is this job within the scope of my department’s mission?” Or “Are there other agencies that are better equipped to do this”.

    Or even “Is what Donald Trump asking me us to do legal?”.

    They just do what the Boss says.

      Sure, but if I was the boss I would want the elite highly trained experts protecting me, not the guys I hired without screening or training to rough up the peasants.

        I’m sure ICE is only support for the secret services. It’s not replacing that.

        With the global anti-Americanism (and honestly well deserved) I suppose they needed a bunch of grunts in case their political figures visiting in Italy gets attacked by an angry crowd.

        Secret services are not meant to handle large crowds (nor ICE to be fair).

        You, sir, are intelligent. These guys are not. The only want people who will never tell them “no”.
