Understanding Today’s ICE Through the Past

The Takeaway

As Immigration and Customs Enforcement — better known as ICE — dominates the headlines with stories like families being separated at the border, increased deportations, and the profitability of migrant detention, it can be easy to forget that ICE is a relatively new agency. So today, we discuss the department at the center of the immigration debate in the United States with two former top officials; a look at the shooting of an unarmed black teen and protests throughout the county; the transformative election for Turkey; and all this week we will be exploring the intersection of surveillance and policing.
