They now employ minors?

Besides, how realistic is a fear that a law abiding citizen would be endangered by the ICE?

If you are brown, pretty realistic given the number of brown citizens ICE has deported. [1]

    How many is it? Your link gets us to 1, and it's from months ago. I expected you to link the number since you're claiming it's high.

    Supposedly there's been 500k deportations, and 2.5m "self-deportations" in 2025, so what would be high here?

    Edit: I also googled that man's name. A quick read of nbcs article suggests it's not clear he's a citizen. The judge said he "had a substantial claim to citizenship," which means nothing either way. He was born in Thailand.

    "In his Nov. 3 brief, [a lawyer] contends Souvannarath stayed in the United States for 19 years after his removal order without challenging it or seeking proof of citizenship."

      I love how you get to use unconfirmed bullshit numbers in your argument but then demand an exact count for the opposition to mix with your nonsense.

Several law abiding citizens have been caught up in the ice dragnet. Pay attention.

    Several? Like three?

    3/600,000 removals in 2025 = .000005% chance

    So, to answer his question: not realistic at all that you'll get deported as a citizen. That's without fact checking you. I haven't seen anything about actual citizens being removed, including in the sibling comment claiming it with a reference.
