>He's responsible for ICE

In what world? ICE was created in 2003.

I mean, yes, but

1) ICE is Executive branch and he's the chief of Executive branch (I guess the proper word would be accountable).

2) I'm pretty sure a lot of the way ICE is acting now (you know, the children in cages who are refused medical care and so on) is affected by the guy in charge being openly racist who considers non-white people subhuman, wants to build a wall and considers "good people on both sides" between nazis and non-nazis.

President is not just chief of the army and the executive branch, he's an ideological leader who represents the people and shows what kind of behavior is proper, and what is acceptable and so on.

At least he should be, anyway.
