You're entirely motivated by politics here. Everything is backwards reasoning from that. You don't like the guy because he is right wing and you are not right wing.

Despite the fact that you would call the police on a trespasser if they took up residence in your home without permission, or even your yard without your permission, you don't believe in borders or any kind of concept of them. Therefore, you don't like ICE.

Got it.

It's incredibly hypocritical but I understand it.

And anyone that helps ice is bad and anyone that is right-wing is bad and therefore Peter Thiel is bad and therefore everything he says you can distort and weaponize through a filter of "he's a Nazi".

Let's just be clear here:

Virtually every country on the planet enforces their borders and kicks people out if they are overstaying their visas or have snuck in without permission. If you have a problem with ICE, you have a problem with borders and national sovereignty. And if you still believe in those things but still don't like it, then you don't understand game theory. If someone can simply jump a fence and then be allowed to stay then everyone will jump the fence.
