ICE front

Initially I had added orange beads for ICE outrages reported in the news, but they quickly became too numerous to include all. Please see and support the comprehensive list (with 377 incidents as of January 2026) maintained at https://wiki.icelist.is/index.php/Main_Page Before the list became overwhelming to represent with beads, I did include the following:

The list is incomplete. A more complete list includes deaths caused by or in custody of another agency, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). A dozen congressional representatives wrote a letter to the Department of Homeland Security saying that there had been 17 deaths associated with the CBP.
