Doubtful many employees would lost their jobs, but the mission would change.

It need to be brought back to doing what it was created to do, track and interdict potential terrorists trying to cross out border, not hurting people that are running from terror and violence. My sense is that ICE has been overrun by immigrant hating people that use the shield of government to carryout their hate.

And stop using government employees as the president's personal ethnic cleansing force.

or merged with another agency, not abolished altogether. 20,000 people are not going to lose their jobs (although obviously there are some authoritarian assholes working there who shouldn't).
