ICE did not 'suddenly' become abusive toward migrants under this administration.
I highly recommend all of you check out @robvato’s powerful book “Unforgetting”. For a primer on the book and important things to know re: immigration policies in the US check out:
The abuse of migrants has managed to remain bipartisan. Pick an era, a president, or a policy proposal. Migrants (and other marginal groups) are consistently reduced to political pawns as congress argues and argues and...nothing changes while people die.

An 18 year old Salvi boy, #AndresGuardado who was helping an LA autobody shop with security issues in the Gardena District of LA was murdered by police on June 18th. They allege that he had a gun and ran away from them when they “approached” him.
His heartbroken family has said, “We didn’t know him to keep guns—he worked two jobs and was a good kid. We’re all dead inside.”
The auto shop owner whom Andres was helping for months said he never carried a gun was obviously scared when police drew their weapons on him. When asked about the decision by police to shoot Andres, he said, “There’s no reason.”
