ICE is going door to door in some neighborhoods looking for non white people. US citizens have been arrested and detained, sometimes violently, and then released with no charges. So yes, our way of life is being threatened.
[flagged]
Here is an example of ICE invading a home without a warrant, reported by Fox. [0] That is definitely against our way of life.
Your list of crimes is just as prevalent in white people. Statistically immigrants commit fewer crimes than native born citizens. Undocumented immigrants commit even fewer violent crimes [1]. So if we're doing house to house searches for criminals we should start with citizens.

Illegal aliens are shown to commit more crimes than citizens when time is given to determine immigration status. [1]
> Studies purporting to show low illegal immigrant crime rates in Texas fail to account for the fact that illegal immigrants are not always identified immediately upon arrest. In many cases, illegal immigrants are identified only after they are imprisoned. Given sufficient time for data collection, it appears that illegal immigrants have above average conviction rates for homicide and sexual assault, while they have lower rates for robbery and drugs.
There is also the question of how many illegal aliens actually exist in the US, which severely complicates calculation of rates for their population.
Your pdf is a repost of the exact study (Light) cited here as being flawed.

Not the most compelling case:
> Gibson is a 38-year-old Liberian citizen, who has a final immigration removal order dating back to 2009.
> Statistically immigrants commit fewer crimes than native born citizens
Legal ones, yes - they have a lot to lose. Can you please cite any study positing the same for illegal immigrants?

"Is the argument that Minnesota isn’t emblematic of those issues or that those issues can’t be investigated because a “non white” community is involved with it?"
The issue is that you can’t randomly break down citizen’s doors without a warrant. Minnesota is only targeted because some rightwing TikTok asshole decided to """investigate""" daycare fraud and they wouldn’t let a creepy rando into their facilities for some reason.
"As for citizens being detained, interfering with and obstructing a law enforcement operation will get you detained, whether it’s ICE, FBI, or your local cop on a traffic stop."
Who were these guys obstructing? Why were they treated like criminals? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/13/ice-immigrat...
