IMHO, the Felon is poisoning ICE. When he's gone, ICE will have such a negative perception (much of it deserved), that it will be difficult for them to fulfill their actual role. They act like the gestapo now. Their previous role was very important, but I fear that will be lost in wave of anti-ICE sentiments. At the same time, scaling-back ICE (and firing the thugs in their ranks) would be red meat for the MAGA-verse.

The next POTUS should weed out the really bad agents (e.g. the ones who say "you have no rights"), change leadership (of course), and basically make them a lot less like the gestapo. "Your papers, please" is unacceptable in this country. As I've mentioned before, if detained by ICE, I could not quickly produce evidence of my US birth. I don't carry my passport or my birth certificate, and a driver's license doesn't specify my citizenship status. I'll wager most of us would be in the same boat.
