The normal reaction reading these stories of people getting detained by ICE is… they must have done something wrong: wrong paperwork, looked shady, they were selling some product the government didn’t like…
"That wouldn’t happen to me."
Yes, it could. Easily. Encounter a single official who doesn’t like the look of you. There are almost no legal limits to the power of ICE - and those that exist are slow and expensive.
And that’s if you’re white.
