The number of reported arrests is relatively few, but immigrant rights advocates said the operation appears to mark a shift in ICE tactics. Before this operation, local activists said, agents had been targeted in their tactics, presenting warrants at specific homes or detaining people at immigration court. Stopping people on the street in what appeared to be a fairly random fashion is new, they said.

In short, the Supreme Court decision not to uphold an injunction barring the use of racial profiling a basis for arrest is having fairly immediate consequences .

    It was never about safety, just about hurting minorities. The GOP is very clear in their message; they have no idea what they’re doing and need a group to blame. I guess don’t walk around with a tan…

    I wish the administration would focus on reducing crime and helping the economy. First step is to arrest donald trump and his goonsquad so we can start to recover from their dumpster fire.
