He raided an entire factory and he had no way of knowing whether they were criminal.

Some innocent Puerto Ricans - who are United States citizens - were detained. He wasn’t going after criminals with red notices.

In Arizona, native Americans are also being detained by ICE and they are having to prove their citizenship

But many illegal immigrants, but last time the deportations hurt the farmers
