No, I don't think that ICE is primarily involved in ferreting out known trafficking of women and children at the southern border. I think that they are mostly occupied with the ERO aspects of immigration at the border. Arresting anyone who crosses the border illegally. They're very efficient at it. Not sure how many of those are victims of trafficking though.
but to the point of the OP, do you disagree that ICE is the agency primarily involved in ferreting out known trafficking of women and children at the southern border? Do you disagree that its happening? What would you do about it?

'CAN'T COMPREHEND HATE TRUMP AHHHHHHHH ICE IS BAD DURRRR HATE TRUMP'
that's how their rhetoric comes across to me
Yup, that's how these people are. I was getting the oil changed on my car a few days ago and the tv in the waiting room just finished another hit piece on Trump, this woman in the waiting room started going off on how she hated Trump, how he's taking our rights away, ect. So, I decide to ask her what rights we've lost under Trump. She froze for a few seconds I swear you could hear the gears grinding in her head, then she just got up and stomped out.
I just look at folks like that and say , "Excuse me. There are laws against noise pollution"
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforces a wide range of crimes related to border security, including investigations of human smuggling and human trafficking. In fact, ICE is one of the primary federal agencies responsible for combating human trafficking.

That is what the agents who wrote the letter would like to see happen.
But it's more politically expedient to revile those agents. Apparently.
how can we trust your judgement on this issue when it's fairly obvious you don't even know what this agency does?

I do know what it does, what each of two wings do.

Are you supporting sex traffickers
Did I?
Didn’t you derail another entire thread already with this BS?

Yes I do.
you don't know what you're talking about.

The protestors were protesting the actions of ERO agents (like separating families), they were not protesting the actions of HSI agents. Trouble is, the jackets just say ICE.
We do not need a disclaimer on the backs of ICE jackets; we need mandatory IQ requirements for anyone to protest.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforces a wide range of crimes related to border security, including investigations of human smuggling and human trafficking. In fact, ICE is one of the primary federal agencies responsible for combating human trafficking.
ICE works with its law enforcement partners to dismantle the global criminal infrastructure engaged in human smuggling and human trafficking. ICE accomplishes this mission by making full use of its authorities and expertise, stripping away assets and profit incentive, collaborating with U.S. and foreign partners to attack networks worldwide and working in partnership with nongovernmental organizations to identify, rescue and provide assistance to trafficking victims.
No.
are they lying?
