Omg no, is the bar that low? how is he fine?

They were able to slightly reanimate him and grafted remote control cars onto his feet so now he's good to go until the other parts of him start to fester. Then they'll have to hollow him out and put him in a wheelchair so he can be manually puppeteered like the old man in Dead Silence.

Can a kind US citizen tell an international reader like me what is ICE, and what are they doing?

To add to what Ladle Ghoulash said:

- It stands for "Immigration and Customs Enforcement"

- In the Big Ugly Bill, they had their budget expanded to absurd proportions, which they're using to recruit randos with $50K signing bonuses

- Stephen Miller has set them the goal of deporting 3000 people a day (which, even with what they're doing, they can't meet), so although they're supposed to focus on criminals, instead they're going after the easiest people to find

Yeah, they’re a semi-militarized federal law enforcement division given broad surveillance powers and tend to be more racist than the average police officer (which is saying something). They’ve been amping up deportation operations in major American cities and actually just recently used military helicopters to descend on low income housing and dragged out and temporarily detained a shitton of innocent people who are here legally.

There have also been recent incidents of ICE officers engaging in increasing levels of brutality towards protestors, to and including shooting a woman 7x in the chest after ramming her car with their vehicle. They’re out of control and are acting, essentially, as a paramilitary towards Trump’s end of deporting all undocumented people and intimidating non-white American citizens.

Why are they doing all that?

Because Trump ran on a platform of mass deportations and wants to use protests against the inhumane ICE deportations to justify cracking down on political dissent. It’s all both authoritarian theatre and an attempt to escalate efforts for Trump to consolidate power.

Will there be hopes for a change once the administration changes?

ICE has always had problems, but this is easily the worst it’s ever been, so if a Dem president is elected, they would absolutely reign ICE in (although atp I honestly think it just needs to be abolished).

Is there hope of this administration changing though  

I fully believe we've crossed a type of threshold, especially with the supreme court about to gut the voting rights act and basically ensure that Democrats will never hold the house of representatives again

I mean when another president takes over, there will be an administration change, right?

With the expected attack on the voting rights act, the next president could easily be a continuity candidate.
