How should the costs of enforcement operations—property damage, injuries, and security deployments—factor into public debate over ICE's tactics and funding?
After the Dallas ICE facility shooting, where do you think the line is between political rhetoric and incitement to violence—and who bears responsibility for it?

The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a federal law enforcement agency under the United States Department of Homeland Security. Its stated mission is to conduct criminal investigations, enforce immigration laws, preserve national security, and protect public safety. ICE was created as part of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 following the September 11 attacks. It absorbed the prior functions of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the United States Customs Service.
