(Ketrin Jochecová – Politico) Some European far-right parties and politicians have sparked a backlash by calling for a police force in their countries resembling U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE, which enforces federal laws governing border control, customs, trade and immigration, has been mired in controversy after its agents killed two U.S. citizens in recent weeks, amid a push by the Trump administration to deport unauthorized immigrants. That has not deterred the Bavarian branch of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and Belgian far-right Vlaams Belang party from proposing police units that resemble ICE, in calls that have stoked an outcry from political opponents.
