ICE agents are the worst possible people. Masked and unidentified, they roam the country terrorizing innocent, hard-working people, and kidnap them and their kids with no consideration for their constitutional rights. Sometimes, you hear about some misfortune befalling one of them. Sadly, you have to pretend to at least feel neutral about this. Until the Trump madness blows over, here’s how to keep your poker face.

I dunno… I would certainly not suppress my emotional response to an ICE agent getting back what they put out. Plus I think that ridicule/refusing to take them seriously is one of the most potent anti-Trump weapons around. Of course, if it’s your boss eliciting sympathy for the poor wittle Ice agent, and you want to keep your job, such measures are appropriate. F’rinstance, I know a Democrat whose boss said he hoped ICE would round up all the Democrats next. My friend kept his silence, and his job, but he sure let his friends know about it!
