It's a temporary partisan solution, the other party will do the opposite, reducing enforcement and letting even more illegal migrants in, lest they be accused of being a xenophobe.

Not sure of that to be honest, I think that would be a loud minority.

Once democratic cities got a taste of the flood of people coming in that were sent by southern states, they realized how big the issue is and how much of a drag on resources it is.

    That's not how it is in reality, southern states (not just them though) have been doing that with homeless people too, not just immigrants.

    Republicans did jim crow in the 50s and 60s, we still talk about it today, and the positive blowback from that needs no explanation. Keep in mind that ICE is doing a lot more than cops did to protesters in the 60s, and it is targeting not just one group but several minority groups. not only that, it is all being live streamed, and it is affecting a lot of majority-group americans more directly. If ICE can avoid being disbanded it would be a great victory for them.

    If I were exaggerating, I would be talking about tribunals and mass incarcerations of ICE agents, but I'm not.
