In the charged atmosphere of an election season, a dispute over the soul of immigration enforcement has surfaced between federal border czar Tom Homan and Florida Democratic Senate candidate Angie Nixon. Homan insists ICE operates within the law, guided by probable cause rather than race, while Nixon calls the agency a paramilitary force inflicting state-sanctioned harm on vulnerable communities. The argument is not merely about tactics — it is a collision of two fundamentally different moral frameworks for understanding power, identity, and the reach of the state.
