Yeah, all these victims are white. For years, people been treated far worse, their stories shared in social media but it never make it to mainstream media.

Sad but hopefully these stories will bring some positive changes in immigration system for everyone.

It’s going to get much worse before it gets better.

I disagree, there have been multiple high profile stories of people the government is trying to (or has already) deport who were not white, like the Brown University Doctor Rasha Alawieh, or Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil. Maybe the unfortunate bigger link between the amount of public outrage is that these people are upper/middle class.

But in all of these cases, they were alleged to have violated conditions of their visa, which is not an uncommon thing and exactly what the courts are for. Evidence will be presented (or not) and then a ruling will be made. Even for the most extreme situations like Venezuela, those cases are still in court and very much ongoing.

To me it just seems like the amount of outrage is disproportionate because most of these cases are unsettled and too many assumptions are being made.

As for why so many stories happening in a short period, the Trump administration has stated that existing laws simply weren't being enforced, and now they are. Which if true, could certainly be a simpler (and less inflammatory) reason why these cases are appearing now.
