ICE Commander's Uniform Sparks Nazi Comparison
There's a big discussion about Gregory Bovino, who is a leader in ICE.
People are upset because his uniform looks like one worn by the SS, a group from Nazi Germany.
The Department of Homeland Security says it's just a regular uniform, but some people think it's not okay.
There's also an old tweet from Gregory that says 'Serve your country!
Defend your culture!'
which some people think is similar to how the Nazis got regular people to do bad things.
A man named Karl Stojka, who survived Auschwitz, said that it wasn't just the leaders who did bad things, but everyday people who wore uniforms and believed they were better than others.
Some people online think this is a big problem and are comparing it to those times.
