Correlation. No causation.
ICE was formed after the first season of The Wire debuted on HBO.
ICE is an entity that didn't even exist until 2003. Its functions were tasked to other entities for generations. If its thuggery is abolished, those functions return to Customs/CBP. Not so with basic constabularies, organized and maintained in every society for centuries.
Abolish ICE. Not policing.

the insinuation here that Levitsky’s politics might influence his scholarship has the causation exactly backwards
there is something quite close to unanimity among serious scholars on this point, but the Washington Post omits that in favor of highlighting one such scholar's donations to Democratic candidates

There’s a thing called causation..

If the causation is here — if he really did resign over this — that’s huge. That is very indicative of some extremely questionable decisions.
WOW. Breaking news from ABC that has the potential to cast serious doubts on today’s indictment of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
