The United States government used armed thugs to kidnap a 5-year-old child off an American street, separate him from his dad, traffic him to another state, and sling him into a scary & unsafe concentration camp. "This is not who we are!!!" Yes, unfortunately, it now is.

ICE not allowing agents to have unsupervised copies of ICE policies or to take any notes is an admission by ICE that it knows the policies are illegal.
