That doesn't explain why ICE were notorious for rounding up people attending immigration hearings.

Th policy has just been struck down, but we'll see whether that makes a practical difference.

IME ICE are simply a death squad. Immigration is a pretext.

The goal is political terror against regime opponents, not a rational and proportional response to people without paperwork.

That's pretty interesting, what sort of people have you discussed this with? I'd imagine that many people in the center and leftward would at least try to inject some nuance into such blunt statements.
