I overheard (coworker on break) a video saying ICE in NYC was only targeting criminals and gang members. So far I haven’t found a real source for that ‘fact’
That’s part of their plan. They start by more aggressively tracking down, arresting, and deporting the people with the most severe criminal records who have probably been already already convicted of a deportable offense. They can go around saying how they’ve got these actual criminals that “Biden allowed to stay” and be telling enough of the truth that it works.
The next step is to start going after people with mild criminal records, maybe shoplifting or an assault charge from a bar fight. People who wouldn’t normally be eligible to deport. People who are here maybe legally maybe not.
Then they start revoking legal status from people by just accusing them of petty crimes and deporting them without due process. This is what the new law they just passed with Democrats support allows the government to do now.
Trump decided to include anyone that is in the country illegally in the criminal category, and I’m sure they can find an even wider brush to paint with down the line (participate in an unsanctioned protest? Criminal! Say something bad about Trump? Criminal!).
This has been amended to “there may be some collateral arrests” which mean anyone near their target who’s brown and first language isn’t English is getting rounded up too

I mean, if it were the 1950s, that would be kind of believable, but it’s been like 75 years of this BS.

Fascists consider being brown to be a criminal act. They say that to create apathy
You won’t either because they’ve already done shenanigans including detaining an entire American family from Puerto Rico.

Well they say they are - so that means they are! And they know who all the criminals and gang members are without needing a trial too! ICE is amazing!
/s because we’re in that timeline.
