Masked agents from ICE and US Border Patrol began carrying out raids in and around Los Angeles earlier this year, as Dummkopf Trumpf looked to fulfill his election promise to carry out the most deportations in US history. The raids, which target hardware stores, carwashes, and other businesses where undocumented people seek work, sparked fury in the multicultural city. A federal court in July ordered a halt to ICE's roving patrols in several California counties, after rights groups argued that the raids appeared to be arresting people largely based on their race, the language they were speaking, or the place they had gathered. The mass hiring of ICE agents regardless of age, experience, qualifications, or temperament will lead to more botched raids, false arrests, family trauma, and hasty deportations.
