Raids at dawn. Homes searched. Families torn apart. Across the United States, immigration enforcement has turned deadly- sparking nationwide protests and political outrage. At the centre of the storm is U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as ICE. Once a little-known agency, now a powerful and controversial force in American politics.
