The ICE has tanks - can you provide a link? Words have meaning. Maybe some armored cars, but tanks?

I'm not sure exactly what kind of armored vehicles ICE has. I'm pretty sure some of them would qualify as tanks at least in WW1. The war to end all wars... if only.

There are actually valid reasons for BORTAC to be armed to the gills, but they're meant to point all that firepower at organized crime (cartels) in the border zone, not Americans in Chicago.

But fair argument - words matter. I was being glib with "tanks". What I really mean is that anyone backed by the power of the US government to extrajudiciously kidnap people and deport them without due process is not a vulnerable group (by definition) and should not be a protected class (in my opinion).

Yes, and shotguns would be magical boomsticks in the Trojan Wars.

Again, words have meanings. Yours are incorrect, and do not help your cause.
