There was an 18 year old legal resident in my city that was forcibly pulled out of his house by ICE, was ignored when he showed his papers, and was shipped from Kentucky to Louisiana where they tried to "deport" him for literally no reason. After detaining him for a month and a bunch of unnecessary judicial stalling, they just kicked him out on to the street 600 miles from home and he would have essentially been homeless if the community hadn't rallied around him.
- ICE has not previously arrested en-masse the first-time visa overstays via felony responses. It's typically a misdemeanor offense, and should receive a different response from ICE.
I disagree that the raids have been going on with this frequency or with this level of going after people in neighborhoods, preying on them at courthouses and so on.
It is critical to consider the context as well. The Trump administration demonizes all immigrants, legal or illegal. Listen to Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, or Laura Loomer. The terror is the point.

It's not a unique story.

ICE is not that old. It was only formed in 2002. Most of HN is older than ICE!
