Democracy dies in oligarchy.
Thing is, we ARE afraid of Trump and ICE. It's obvious what they're capable of. We're aware (or we really should be aware) every time we protest them, we could end up injured or dead.
But that fear isn't making us back down.

I'm afraid he's been there so long that he may not be able to make that judgment call anymore.
As much as I appreciate @wyden.senate.gov alerting us to... something bad... he has immunity to disclose anything into the Congressional record. If this secret is really bad, maybe he should do that?

He doesn't have enough ICE agents to patrol more than a couple cities on Election Day. That'll be bad, for sure, but not enough to materially affect the results.
What we should be worried about is how he'll use his few thousand goons against an incoming Congress that will likely be opposed to him.
