I would just like to reiterate this in light of the increased depravity of ICE in the United States. What ICE represents is part of a very old tradition of panicked tribalism that dates back to the very founding of America.

From Jurassic Park to The Piano, here are Sam Neill's best roles
With more than 150 acting roles under his belt, Sam Neill leaves a lasting legacy to the film and TV industry, and an array of characters that will stay in fans' hearts forever.
