Got this after playing The Ascendancy for a while and conquering Griffonia, not sure what prompted it but unfortunately i will not be taking this very great piece of advice.

Despite ICE being a law enforcement agency (might aswell ban police avatars), it seems they just ban any avatar that doesnt align with their politics. Which might make sense on why they ban people with Israeli flags or Benjamin Netanyahu's head on their avatar.
They are just making themselves look ridiculous, because its obviously motivated by personal politics rather than actual wish to properly enforce anything
