I haven’t seen tankies like you’re describing, which support the ICE raids and the genocide of Palestinians.
I have seen plenty of support of China and Russia, which I haven’t seen with MAGA supporters (well, sometimes you do see some Russian supporters among them).
If a ‘tankie’ is a supporter of China, Russia, ICE and Israel, then yeah, I can see where you’re coming from.
Maybe I’m a bit naïve, but this does not read as support of ICE to me. More a “leopards are eating my face” moment. The point of the meme is to point out that the horrible things going on now with state-funded kidnappings is comparable to how the USA has acted in the past. To me, this reads as a trigger for Americans who ‘support the troops’ to do some self-reflection.
I can see how you read this as someone celebrating the punishment of American citizens for past American crimes. Of course, you and I know that makes no sense. The most responsible are not affected by the ICE raids, and ‘karmic justice’ doesn’t help anyone anyway. I just don’t think that was their intention.

Might be a satire account but I think I found one in the wild: https://feddit.online/post/1455166/
