And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

It should be noted that the strength of a liberal democracy is defined by how it protects the rights of its minorities, especially its most marginalized.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signs a bill that strikes gender identity from Iowa civil rights law, making the state the first to remove civil rights from a previously protected class.

Perfect: Trump is angry that deportation numbers aren't high enough, so he's demanding higher numbers of daily arrests, WaPo reports. But that's going to require rounding up non-criminals.
