    How does having immigrated here make the arrest valid if they didn’t even commit a crime? Also why do you seem to believe them when they call it a targeted search when there have been constant reports like this one of random people getting picked up, some not even immigrants?

      They said targetted first, but not exclusively. I don’t like whats going on. But it is being portrayed as a surprise. No one should be surprised by this. If anything it hasn’t been as bad as predicted… yet. Overall, thier goal is actually fear. They hope that will deter others from coming in so they can declare what a good job they did securing the borders. And the idea of scared immigrants makes thier base happy. So it’s win win for them.

      They consider just being here illegal, thus committing a crime.
