Notes -
I think the OP referred to the ICE raids in the northern cities. I have no idea about the veracity of these claims, but I've heard a lot of American left-wingers say that the ICE does not follow the expected police protocol: when the police arrest someone, they first have a reasonable suspicion that this specific person has committed a specific crime, they perform the arrest and read the suspect their rights. Instead, ICE raiders perform broad racial profiling ("look, a group of brown people not speaking English to each other and hanging around the Home Depot parking lot!"), indiscriminately detain anyone who matches this profile and then make them prove they are not illegal aliens.
