Scale and intent: The Gestapo enforced a totalitarian regime, committed genocide, and worked outside any ethical framework. ICE, despite its excesses, operated within a constitutional democracy. Resistance and visibility: ICE faces ongoing resistance from U.S. courts, media, advocacy groups, and whistleblowers. The Gestapo operated with near-total impunity.
