      It’s too bad there doesn’t seem to be a profit to the cartel gangs to come out and fight the ICE gangs. They’d win if they did.

        they are mostly in mexico though, and i heard prices of cocaine dropped because trump pulled most of BORDER police out to fight assist ICE. leading to unabated drug trafficking.

      #1 way you know they aren’t actually going after “the bad guys”. No shootouts.

          There can be more than one set of “bad guys”. And they wouldn’t want to get into a fight with the other groups, because those would fight back unlike common civilians.

      They sent an army after the cartels and Tren. They literally blew up two boats which was complete overkill considering the adversary.

      they also have GUNS, are much prone to using it. ice hires very out of shape people on undefended people, not people that will shoot at the moments notice.
