Back when I was little, kids used to freak each other out about bad guys they saw or said they saw or heard somebody say they saw: Gang members. Kidnappers. Drug dealers.

Sometimes it was just attention-seeking or scaring each other for fun. Sometimes it was genuinely scary. Sometimes it was even based in reality. Regardless, these are the boogeymen of my childhood.

I’ve had the chance to talk to some little kids this week. You know who’s the playground boogeyman now? ICE.
