    ICE is all those things, including Gestapo. Nazi Germany was heavily influenced by America after all, it’s no surprise it’s come full circle

      Yeah basically the entire Nazi modus operandi was lifted from American entrepreneurs and general culture.

      I’ve heard ICE is closer to the SA than ths Gestapo, since the Gestapo was mostly intelligence while SA was brute force

        Correct, however most people don’t know anything at all about SA. They know SS and Gestapo.

        To anybody reading this, if you want to learn more - both about SA itself and how things like SA/Nazism came to be - I cannot recommend Babylon Berlin enough. The first season is about the post-Great War Germany, whereas the second season is pretty much specifically about the rise of Hitler.
