You insist on using broad brushstroke language like "masked goons". Nobody is going to listen to your lack of nuance on other topics either.

How much nuance is there really to explore in that topic if even longtime ICE agents are themselves decrying the current state of the agency, and rightfully blaming the current administration for opening the floodgates to any redneck who can read a job application

Well you're right, "goon" is a value judgement, but if someone's critical thinking extends no further than 'bad word therefore bad argument' then I'm not sure I could reach them in any case.
The precise word choices have nothing to do with it. Even in this rebuttal you're still projecting an oversimplified perspective.
broad brushstroke guess; ICE
I mean, they are masked, right?
And they’ve been going around beating people and in a few cases killing them, like goons, right?
Just because terms can and have been used hyperbolically doesn’t mean that the same term cannot accurately describe other situations.
