Sure, in the 30% of the population that consists of die-hard Trump haters. That's not the average American, though.

Freedom of speech is not a partisan issue, and is strongly a matter of principle and of core constitutional rights. When you take it away, you're left with a country that is not worth defending. Think about it.
Moreover, we know from extensive news coverage that the ICE facilities are hell. It is reasonable to expect that they offer humane facilities, appropriate food, and good medical care, also that they don't detain anyone for too long.
It's true freedom of speech isn't a partisan issue, but you don't want to make a cause célèbre out of someone this toxic. It's counter-productive, since it causes normal people to think free speech isn't all it's cracked up to be.
The ICE facilities are not "hell". They're no better or worse than US prisons. Which is okay, since that's what they are. And nobody is forced to be there "too long". They can go back to their country of origin at any time.
Look, you obviously don't care about or respect individual rights. You don't care that people be free to speak to those whose salary they pay via taxes, and you don't care that detention facilities be humane. It is not clear how informed you are about the quality of ICE facilities; they have many serious problems. People who feel they're wronged have no reason to give up their case until a judge makes a ruling. Individuals rights are a laughing matter to you, and this is also validated by your username. Basically you won't learn until it's your rights that get taken away.
