Not sure what you mean by "weaponization". They are a law enforcement agency and either they are enforcing the laws in a legal manner or they are not. If they are and people are unhappy maybe the laws should be changed. I find it interesting that thus far, there were more deportations under the Obama administration than the Trump administration (but more than Biden and of course he still has a few years to catch up but his admin is averaging fewer per day). As far as I know, Obama also made use of ICE for that.

It's true, ICE had been around forever, but I feel in the past it was a more measured and targeted approach. These mass raids and strong arm tactics seem to fit the definition of weaponization pretty spot on to me.
