I think the caption refers to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, not Internal Combustion Engine.

Ohhhhh that makes so much sense now! Here I was thinking this was some radical pro-EV group going out there making it happen!

That was a remarkably calm comment considering the read intention is creating thousands of unsafe vehicles on the road along with other drivers and pedestrians.

Yeah I was perplexed (hence feeling the need to comment) but lemmy never ceases to surprise me!

Maybe we should start referring to ICE as CBP too.

Customs and Border Protection patrols the border, checks visas and passports of everyone passing through a port, etc. ICE comes to grab people at home or work or school or church to snatch them up out of their day to day lives and sends them away.

Every nation has something like CBP. ICE, though, is something especially authoritarian/fascist.
