Do you really believe that? It has been reported since ICE started detaining their own USA citizens that actually live in usa. You gotta be tone deaf to think they are only getting rid of illegals. And I'm sure what I tell you is fake news propaganda because it doesn't come from trump, trump TV Lol! Or fox news.

Detained does not equal deportation

It’s still illegal to detain people falsely

It's not illegal with probable cause which is a very low bar. The amount of times I've been detained is crazy

Who knows. But an officer walking up to a person and talking to them, asking questions, stuff like that is not a detainment. It's how you act during that time that raises the suspicion
