"It's fundamentally cruel and inhumane, and it doesn't take into account any specific considerations for people who have been here a long time, for people whose children are citizens and have been here a long time. So when you do these random raids, they provoke a response that is justifiably you're going to provoke a lot of anger because this is barbarism."
"This also is disgusting to people who, again, many of them would say that with AI coming, with automation coming, with a large number of undocumented people here already think that it's difficult to imagine how bringing in more people is going to help. And that group of people, they still look at this stuff and go, this stuff is terrible."
Publicized ICE raids using masked federal agents provoke widespread disgust and alienate many who nominally support stronger border enforcement. The raids fail to consider long-term residents, people with citizen children, and individual circumstances, making them appear fundamentally cruel and inhumane. Fatal encounters, such as the shootings of Minneapolis residents Renee Good and Alex Pretti, demonstrate preventable risks associated with aggressive tactics. Government social-media posts celebrating mass deportations inflame anger and appear sophomoric. Even voters concerned about automation and labor market impacts view these raids as barbaric and counterproductive. These enforcement methods undermine the cause of border security and erode public support.
