This is such a strong piece by Liv Veazey for @hellgatenyc.com offering the banality of ICE agents as they huddle and lounge around Lower Manhattan, engaging in the most barbaric of activities, kidnapping and holding people in a gulag and then talking about slurpees. hellgatenyc.com/what-ice-age...
