do you think it’s a little weird that people are only freaking out about ICE now that they killed a white woman when minorities have been facing this for months?
ICE literally killed a white woman, she was not even an immigrant. Are y’all okay with that???

I think there’s a better faith explanation. Mainstream media has not been covering ICE raids to the the level it should, meaning there’s a lot of honest, good people who just haven’t caught wind of it. With this happening, it’s finally catching enough attention that new people are becoming aware. I don’t deny that race and xenophobia play a part, but I don’t think that’s 100% of it

so in your own follow up comments you admit hispanics are not "the only minorities". just because there's a lower chance of being detained if you're not hispanic doesn't mean there's zero chance. not to mention other brown racial/ethnic groups, such as the indian woman in my class who was held up for 2 hours after our evening class while ice detained and "investigated" her. she was not a suspect - they just thought she was latino

I think it does and it’s incredibly sad, but either way these are illegal immigrants, and if not, then not complying with law or questioning leading to physical action having to be taken.
