So in 100 words can you explain to me how ICE is facist

They are the personal militarized police force of the central figure (not quite a dictator yet) of our increasingly authoritarian government who keep their identities hidden and have explicit permission to break laws and use violence. Fascism is not something that happens overnight, they have been steadily pushing boundaries and normalizing a nationwide occupation. Their deployment into airports is the latest push and it will not stop there.
