It also shouldn’t be lost on anyone that Trump ordered these raids in large liberal cities. Places where his staff knew people would resist and where you could have “warzone” narratives that Fox News will eat up. There are no raids on the countless farms filled with undocumented workers. Texas, Georgia, Florida, all untouched. For Trump’s aides like Stephen Miller, this was never really about immigrants. This is about selling a story, of fear and dystopia, that lets them justify increased federal authority and force.
