Body cam from when Border Patrol shot a woman 5 times in Chicago last year. The agents have guns drawn and pointed. One says "do something b----." Then: "Time to get aggressive." Moments later, the driver can be seen swerving the car into hers, jumping out & firing almost immediately.

The vast majority of Democratic politicians, including many who fancy themselves ICE opponents, remain deeply invested in the narrative that some immigrants are bad guys and others are good guys, and that the bad guys deserve deportation. Here's a story about what this kind of thinking can produce:

As part of a 287(g) contract between state officials and ICE, Massachusetts continues to release prisoners into deportation—even as state lawmakers look to ban other forms of ICE collaboration.

Police who live in their communities often park their cars outside their home. Some agencies put full government names on patrol cars. CBP/ICE get paid more and do a whole lot less.
Todd Lyons, Trump's ICE chief, is testifying this morning in a House hearing.
Lyons will say in his opening remarks that ICE is somehow the victim of ICE's reign of terror and violence in Minnesota, not the immigrants too traumatized to go outside or the American citizens ICE/CBP have killed.

No you don't.
If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.
