I keep seeing presumably European people using this acronym as though it doesn’t stand for the US ..., Gestapo doesn’t seem like a bad comparison though they’re their own American-grown genocidal (not using that lightly) horror. Disregarding laws, killing & breaking families. La migra. They make lives of people of color hell, and not just immigrants (let alone undocumented ones). I’m guessing it means something else but it might not hurt to spell that acronym because of its US associations.
ICE Afficher plus
@ruth @Maenad I agree to an extent. I had no idea what it stood for in your context, but now I understand that it doesn't have the best connotations (especially considering present conditions).
I'm afraid it's probably not going to change though, being quite well established in both cases.
