Remember that the violence and brutality of ICE is outrageous, but it's not the only problem with the administration's immigration enforcement surge. It started out being about the "worst of the worst" (violent criminals), then quickly morphed to include anyone found with a status violation. But now they're CREATING status violations by mass revoking visas (especially of asylum seekers).

Many of the people being targeted and detained followed all the rules and committed no crimes or violations.

So in other words, this is not about deporting "illegals" and criminals. It's about getting rid of "foreigners" - anyone who doesn't fit the narrow, xenophobic MAGA vision of what constitutes an America.
