> [@Reply](#): > > We _were_ having a factual discussion on a political topic – whether there is actually a significant overlap between people who appreciate the border patrol and people who appreciate park rangers. No, there was no ongoing discussion, because you were the only one who brought it up. You asked your question about racist ICE syncophants. No-one before in that thread had raised that issue, and **Colibri** then told you not to make political jabs, which you disputed, turning what had been a simple caution into a mod warning. There was no discussion going on about the question your raised. And no-one has addressed it since. And by the way, your question seems to me to have been a hijack as well, since the passage you quoted from **Running Coach** does not mention ICE at all: > [@Variant on Thin Blue Line Flag](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/variant-on-thin-blue-line-flag/922672/2): > > show support for federal law enforcement agents such as border patrol, park rangers and conservation personnel ICE is not mentioned in that quotation. Border patrol is. US Border Patrol is a sub-set of US Customs and Border Protection, which is not ICE. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/racist-ice-sycophant-is-not-a-political-jab/922696)._
